Principle
Lift the pendulum up to a certain height to give it an initial potential energy. The pendulum tears the specimen while swinging down. Computer calculates the decreased energy caused by tearing to obtain the required force for tearing.
Standards
This tear tester conforms to the following standards:
ASTM D1922, ASTM D1424, ASTM D689, ISO 6383-1-1983, ISO 6383-2-1983, ISO 1974, GB/T 16578.2-2009, GB/T 455-2002, TAPPI T414
Functionality
Adjustable test range and electronic measurement make it possible to perform tests at various test conditions. Pneumatic specimen clamping, pendulum release mechanism and horizontal adjustment system effectively reduce the errors caused by human operation. System provides automatic statistics of testing data and exports test results in different units, which is convenient for clients viewing. The Elmendorf tear tester is easily controlled by micro-computer with menu interface, PVC operation panel and large LCD display. The tear tester is equipped with micro printer for convenient data transmission. Sophisticated energy consumption and test environment monitoring and analysis functions for better test accuracy and reliability. The system monitors and displays real-time voltage, current, energy consumption, and inclination angle of instrument as well as ambient temperature and relative humidity during the test, which serves to evaluate test data reliability. (Relevant sensors are needed. For more information, please refer to the configuration in Technical Specifications.) Easy calculation for historical results, instrument usage, energy consumption, and vast statistical information.
