Vue d'ensemble
Digital Elmendorf Tear Tester with TestWise™ software and touch-screen. Supplied with easy to fit pendulum weights suitable for testing woven and non-woven textiles as well as paper, plastic and other sheet materials.
Elmendorf tear propagation resistance testing
ElmaTear is used to test the tearing strength of paper, plastic, woven & non woven materials.
It measures the tear force required to propagate a single-rip tear of defined length from a cut in a fabric when a sudden force is applied by a weighted pendulum. A selection of weights are used to achieve the desired outcome.
This test application is not applicable to knitted textile fabrics or anisotropic materials

Features and benefits
- Range of weights
A, B, C, D and two additional lighter weights, ½A and ¼A, are included as standard. An optional E Pendulum kit is available for testing up to 128 N. - Standards-driven
A comprehensive list of existing standards organised by sample type are available for selection. The details of each standard are predefined within the instrument. - TestWise for ElmaTear
TestWise for ElmaTear packages results and sends them to a computer, where the user can add more detail, create graphs or save to PDF. - 7-inch, full-colour touchscreen
A capacitive touch screen increases functionality and makes the instrument easier to use. - Intelligent testing
ElmaTear identifies the acceptable range of results for each standard and warns the user when their testing falls outside of this. - Pendulum self-verification
This routine verification ensures the pendulum is performing correctly in between annual calibrations. It means the user can be certain of accurate and reliable testing every time, with minimal input required from them.
Safety
- A two hand release mechanism ensures the user is clear of the pendulum.
- Long-life, increased efficiency, enclosed blade.
- Safety buttons placed at more than hands width apart.
Functional
