Description
The Digital Elmendorf Type Tearing Tester accurately measures the tearing strength of materials like film, cloth, paper, and plastic using the potential energy loss of a fan-shaped pendulum. With a digital interface and pneumatic chucks for holding samples, this instrument ensures precise and reliable results for various industries.
Available in models SA, SA-W, and HD-D, the tester features a capacity range from 16N to 64N, depending on the model and optional additional weights. The results are digitally displayed, and the tester is compatible with international standards such as ISO 1974, ISO 6383-2, ASTM D 1922, and JIS L 1096, making it an ideal tool for testing paper, textiles, and plastic films.
Equipped with RS-232C interface for data transfer and a mini thermal printer option for convenient result documentation, the Digital Elmendorf Tearing Tester delivers efficient testing performance. Power and compressed air requirements are minimal, and the unit fits comfortably in most lab setups with its compact design.
