I. Product Overview
The Manual Tear Strength Tester is a precision instrument designed to measure the tear resistance of materials using standardized methods such as the Elmendorf or tongue tear test. It evaluates the force required to propagate a tear in textiles, plastics, rubber, and composites, ensuring compliance with international quality standards.
- Type: Mechanical pendulum tear tester
- Test Standards: ASTM D1424 (Elmendorf), ISO 34 (Tongue method)
- Tear Modes:
- Elmendorf: Single-edge tear propagation
- Tongue: Central slit expansion
- Capacity: 50–5000 mN (adjustable via pendulum weights)
- Sample Size: 63×127mm (Elmendorf) / 50×200mm (Tongue)

V. Applications
- Textiles: Evaluating fabric abrasion and tear resistance
- Plastics: Testing film and sheet material durability
- Rubber: Measuring tire tread and industrial hose strength
- Forensic Analysis: Documenting material failure causes
Standard Operation Workflow:
- Sample Preparation: Cut to specified dimensions
- Clamping: Secure sample in vise with 50N force
- Calibration: Zero-force adjustment via digital gauge
- Testing: Release pendulum and record peak force
- Analysis: Calculate tear energy (J/m²) or force (N)
Safety Precautions:
- Wear gloves when handling sharp-edged samples
- Avoid loose clothing near moving pendulum
- Secure weights to prevent slippage
