Elmendorf Tear Tester | A smart instrument

The Elmendorf Tear Tester is also called the Pendulum Tear Tester. It is for testing tearing resistance. This is used for conducting fabric tear strength tests. It tests how hard the fabric is to tear. It does this using the pendulum tearing method. The pendulum falls from a certain height. It turns all its potential energy into kinetic energy and cuts the fabric. Then, it measures the force needed for the fabric to tear to a certain length. This force shows how hard the fabric is to tear.

The innovative balance pendulum plate design achieves a higher accuracy for tear testing. The pendulum arm of the ElmenGuide Elmendorf Tear Tester is specially designed. Its center of gravity lines up with the rotation center. This happens when no weights are attached. This results in higher accuracy and reliability of the tear resistance test equipment.

The Elmendorf Tearing Tester complies with ASTM D1424, BS ISO 13937-1, and GB/T 3917.1, and ISO 4674-2. ISO 1974/ASTM D1424.
