Digital Elmendorf Type Tearing Strength Tester is used to determine the tearing strength of fabrics, plastic films or other similar materials. B-Tex Engineering produced Elmendorf Tearing Testers are accurate, of low-cost and of high quality.
The Digital Elmendorf Type Tester determines the tearing strength by measuring the work done in tearing through a fixed length of the test specimen. It consists of a sector pendulum pivoted on anti-friction ball bearings on a vertical bracket fixed on a rigid metallic base.
Features of Tearing Digital Elmendorf Type Tearing Strength Tester:
The equipment effectively measures the tearing strength.
It is user-friendly.
It consists of anti-friction ball bearings.
It has an adjustable knife.
A set of calibrated check weights are also supplied.

How Digital Elmendorf Type Tearing Strength Tester works?
The pendulum is raised till it rests against the Release block pin. Both the jaws have to be opened and the test specimen is inserted between the jaws.
The cutting lever is pushed to make the slit in the test specimen; raising it till the knife goes up to the maximum extent possible.
The knife has to be lowered to its initial position and the pointer has to be moved till it rests against the Pointer Stopper Screw. The pendulum has to be then released.
The lever has to be held until the tear is completed and then
