Description

ElmaTear is James Heal’s intelligent digital Elmendorf tear tester. It is specificially designed to test the strength of woven & non-woven textiles, paper, film and even heavy textiles such as leather & denim. The Elmendorf tear test applies a force to a material that already contains a partial fracture or rupture in order to bring the material to a complete failure.

The ElmaTear blade is coated in Titanium nitride to prevent rusting and ensuring repeatable and reliable results. ElmaTear is supplied with everything needed to complete a tear test, including:

  • Pendulum weights (8N, 16N, 32N, 64N)
  • Optional pendulum weight kit for heavier materials (128N)
  • Check Weights
  • Specimen preparation Templates

TestWise for ElmaTear packages the results of the tear test and sends them directly to a computer. The user then has the option to edit and add more detail to the test results. TestWise can also be used as an archiving tool to keep a record of all previous test results.
