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
