About This Product
Tear testing measures the force needed to continue a tear that starts from a deliberate cut in a sheet material. The test, also known as the Elmendorf test, has long been used in the paper industry, and it is also used for fabrics and perforated materials. Results help compare materials that must resist strong shearing loads or damage from sharp or heavy objects, such as paper bags, seat belts and protective clothing. Schools, colleges and distributors in Mozambique, Moldova, Eritrea, Zambia and Sri Lanka can source the Fabric Tear Strength Tester from School Lab Equipment India.
