Elmendorf Tearing Strength Tester
The Elmendorf Tearing Strength Tester is a precision mechanical instrument designed to measure the tear resistance of materials using standardized methods, including the Elmendorf and tongue tear tests. It evaluates the force required to propagate a tear in textiles, plastics, rubber, and composite materials, ensuring compliance with international quality standards. The tester is ideal for quality control, R&D, and material characterization laboratories.
Application
The tester is widely used to assess tear strength and durability in:
Textiles: fabrics, nonwovens, and composite textiles
Plastics: films, sheets, and polymer materials
Rubber: industrial hoses, tire treads, and elastomers
Forensic Analysis: investigation of material failures and defect analysis
Standards
ASTM D1424 (Textile Tear Resistance, Elmendorf Method)
ISO 34 (Plastics and Rubber Tear Methods, Tongue Method)
EN ISO 6383-2 (Rubber Tear Strength)
GB/T 3917.1 (Chinese Textile Standard)
Features
(1) Dual Test Modes:
Elmendorf Test for high-speed single-edge tear
Tongue Test for central slit propagation
(2) Digital Force Gauge: 0.1 N resolution with auto-zero calibration
(3) Manual Operation: Crank pendulum lift with ratchet safety lock; no electricity required
(4) Adjustable Clamping: Anti-slip jaws for secure specimen fixation
(5) Modular Weights: Customize pendulum energy to match material strength
(6) High Accuracy: ±1% full scale, ensuring repeatable results
