The Light-load Tearing Tester measures the tear strength of a “single” specimen of a material with low tear strength, such as plastic film.
Suitable for materials with low tearing strength that cannot be handled by the Elmendorf type tearing tester.
Features
– Simply set the pendulum in the starting position, start the machine, and it automatically measures the swing angle and calculates the “Tear Strength”.
– When the measurement range is selected, the weight to be attached to the pendulum is indicated.
– The friction of the bearing is compensated by measuring the swing angle of the pendulum.
– Tear Strength” is displayed as a line graph.
– Calculates the average, maximum, minimum, and standard deviation of the measurement data.
– One calibration weight is included for each measurement range.
