About This Product
Tearing strength tells how much energy is needed to continue a tear in paper and similar sheet materials. A pendulum is raised and released, and as it falls it tears a specimen that has first been given a small slit. The scale shows the energy absorbed during tearing, as a reading from 0 to 100% of the pendulum range. The scale can be checked with the check weight supplied. Students use the test to compare the tear resistance of different papers. Alongside supply within India, the Elmendorf Tear Tester (listed as Elemdrorf Tearing Strength) is offered for export to Namibia, Philippines, Guinea, Comoros, Peru and Yemen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Elmendorf Tear Tester measure?
It indicates the energy absorbed during the tearing of a rectangular test specimen, shown on a scale fitted on the pendulum.
Q2. Which capacities are listed?
1600 g, 3200 g, 6400 g, 12800 g and 25600 g, with a scale reading of 0 to 100% of range.
Q3. How is the initial slit made?
An adjustable knife mounted on the pendulum upper bracket, centred between the two clamps, makes the initial slit in the specimen.
