Analog Tear Tester

Analog Tear Tester

This method measures the force perpendicular to the plane of the paper required to tear multiple sheets of paper through a specified distance after the tear has been started using an Elmendorf type tearing tester. The measured results can be used to calculate the approximate tearing resistance of a single sheet.

Features:

• Indication of energy required to make a tear on a scale by a pointer.
• Choice of three interchangeable pendulums to analyze material of variable thickness.(Optional)
• Easy turn knob clamp mechanism exerts sufficient pressure to disallow any slippage of the test specimen.
• Zero adjustment screw for scale calibration.
• Useful for testing wide range of testing materials from thin paper to thick paper and other similar materials.
• Traceable calibration by use of check weights
• Adjustable incision blade to give precise tearing length according to the test standard.
