Elmendorf Pendulum Type Tearing Tester Gf/MN Units Touch Screen Operation Pneumatic Release Microprinter

The Elmendorf Pendulum Type Tearing Tester is a state-of-the-art instrument designed to accurately measure the tear resistance of various materials, including plastic films, textiles, paper, and non-woven fabrics. Utilizing the pendulum method, this tester provides reliable data essential for quality control and research across multiple industries.​

Key Features:

• Advanced Measurement Capabilities: Offers a wide range of pendulum capacities (200 gf to 6400 gf) to accommodate different material strengths.

• User-Friendly Interface: Equipped with a touch-screen display for intuitive operation and real-time data visualization.

• Pneumatic Clamping System: Ensures consistent specimen holding, reducing variability in test results.

• Automatic Pendulum Release: Enhances testing efficiency and repeatability.

• Data Management: Features automatic data statistics, storage, and optional RS232 port for software integration.

• Microprinter Integration: Allows immediate printing of test results for documentation purposes.​

Testing Principle: The Elmendorf Pendulum Type Tearing Tester operates on the principle of measuring the energy loss of a pendulum as it tears through a pre-cut specimen. The pendulum is released from a specific height, and as it swings through the material, the energy absorbed during tearing is calculated, providing an accurate measure of the material's tear resistance.​

Compliance with International Standards:

• ASTM D1922: Propagation Tear Resistance of Plastic Film and Thin Sheeting

• ASTM D1424: Tearing Strength of Fabrics by Falling-Pendulum (Elmendorf-Type) Apparatus

• ASTM D689: Internal Tearing Resistance of Paper
