Product Details

The versatile PowerTear™ High Energy Elmendorf Tear Tester determines falling pendulum tearing strength by propagating a single-rip tear starting from a cut in a sample of paper, cardboard, plastic, or fabric, woven or nonwoven.

 

The versatility of the instrument allows the testing of both light and heavy weight samples while the sleek new design will enhance the look of any laboratory.

Full Color Touch Screen Controller

 

The new full color touch screen controller makes the instrument even easier to operate while the enhanced unit conversion and results tracking will greatly increase the customer experience during testing. Results are displayed in mN, cN, N, g, kg, oz and lb.
