Digital Elmendorf Tearing Tester For Various Materials

       A tear is generally uneven and, and usually unplanned. An exception is a tear along a perforated line, such as those found on a roll of toilet paper or paper towels, which has been previously partially cut, so the effort of tearing will most likely produce a straight line.


The speed at which a tear resistance test is conducted can affect the test significantly. Tear transmission resistance is common for acceptance testing with materials such as paper and rubber. Tear resistance in textiles involves the load required to spread a single "rip-tongue" type of tear or the type of tear where the material is initially cut.

Materials vary in their vulnerability to tearing. Some materials may be quite resistant to tearing when they are in their full form, but when a small cut or tear is made, the material becomes compromised, and the effort needed to continue tearing along that line becomes less.


Tearing Resistance Tester tests the tear force required to tear samples of paper, film, board and other sheet materials. The equipment is designed to directly read the gF(Tear Force) per one piece. The Tearing Resistance Test instrument scale is calibrated to indicate the average force exerted when a certain number of piles are torn together.

The Digital Elmendorf Tearing Tester is using Elmendorf method to determine the tear force of textile fabrics which requires to propagate a single-rip tear of defined length from a cut in a fabric when a sudden force is applied. Test range is 200-32000CN, while the impact force is corresponding to the specific pendulum. They determine ballistic tearing strength by propagating a single-rip tongue-type tear starting from a cut in a sample. The design is much user-friendly with wide range to meet different test and standards.

Classfication Of The Textile Testing

Textile testing is the term for a whole series of tests that examine the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of textiles. These tests are sometimes done before a textile goes into widespread use, or they're done on textiles arriving from other countries for sale in US markets. Countries like the United States have established standards for what should and should not be in textile products. Tests can show whether companies making textiles are in compliance or not. Many textile tests have many types. Some of them are physical tests, in which a sample of textile material is examined closely for feel and appearance. Such tests are done on individual fibers or strands of material and on yarns, threads made of several fibers twisted together. Textiles are subjected to light and other elements to see how they react. Some of these tests are done in a weather-ometer, a machine that tests for weathering and lightfastness of textiles. It's basically an enclosed box. Textiles...

How To Process The Elmendorf Tear Strength Test

The Elmendorf tear tester has been developed specially for the paper industry and is outstanding for simplicity of operation and high measurement accuracy. The exchangeable pendulum is equipped with a pneumatic sample clamp. The initiation and return of the pendulum, as well as sample cutting is completely automatic. The device is operated via an integrated touch screen, where the test method can be selected, specific settings can be adjusted, and, after the measurement, results and statistics can be  displayed.Each pendulum is supplied with the appropriate control weight so that, with the help of the service program, it can easily be checked for functionality and balance. The Elmendorf tear test Procedure:     Cotton fabric was taken.     Warp and weft direction of the fabric was identified.     Two strips were cut from the fabric in both directions having dimensions of 100 x 63.5 mm.     The sample was then fixed in the jaws of the ...

Standard Procedure Of Oxygen Index Test Methods

Oxygen index tester test methods, which describes the tendency of a material to sustain a flame, are widely used as a tool to investigate the flammability of polymers. They provide a convenient, reproducible, means of determining a numerical measure of flammability. A further attraction is that the test method uses inexpensive equipment and only requires a small sample size. These methods have been used to systematical investigate the relative flammabilities of fire-retarded materials, frequently comparing the effectiveness of fire-retardants and fire-retardancy mechanisms. The quintessential feature of oxygen-index methods is that the sample is burnt within a controlled atmosphere. The standard procedure is to ignite the top of the sample, using a gas flame which is withdrawn once ignition has occurred, and to find the lowest oxygen concentration in an upward flowing mixture of nitrogen and oxygen which just supports sustained burning. The criticality criterion typically tak...
