About This Product
Microcellular sheets used for hawai chappals and shoe soles should resist splitting if they separate across their thickness. To test this, a rectangular specimen is split across its thickness and the two split ends are pulled away from each other. The maximum load exerted before failure gives the measure of the resistance of the sheet or sole to splitting. The Split Tear Tester holds the tongues in two grips, moves one grip downward and records the maximum load. The Split Tear Tester can be supplied and exported to buyers in Malaysia, Tajikistan, Venezuela, Namibia and Mexico.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Split Tear Tester measure?
It measures the ability of microcellular rubber sheets and shoe soles to resist propagation of splits, using the maximum load exerted while the split is propagated.
Q2. How is the specimen held during the test?
The two split tongues of the specimen are held in two separate grips in a vertical plane, and one grip is moved downward at a specified speed.
