Elmendorf Tear Strength Tester

Analog Elmendorf Tear Strength Tester

The ELM Series Elmendorf Tearing Testers are accurate, low-cost and high quality falling pendulum tear testing Instruments with analog display for determination of the average force required to propagate a single-rip tongue-type tear starting from a cut in paper, cardboard, plastics, non-woven and woven fabrics, with proper configuration.

The model ELM-6400, meeting ASTM standards is suitable for most fabrics including woven, layered blankets, napped pile, blanket, and air bag fabrics, and provided the fabric does not tear in the direction crosswise to the direction of the force application during the test. The fabrics may be untreated, heavily sized, coated, resin-treated, or otherwise treated. This test method covers the measurement of the average force required to propagate a single-rip tear starting from a cut in a non-woven fabric using a falling-pendulum (Elmendorf) apparatus.

The model ELM-1600, meets TAPPI T414 standard, for Internal Tearing Resistance of Paper (Elmendorf-Type Method) this method measures the force perpendicular to the plane of the paper required to tear multiple plies 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.
