Test Description

Application.

Product Elmendorf tearing strength tester (patented product), is used to determine the ballistic tearing strength of paper, textiles, plastics or board.

Elmendorf tear tester (protea) enables rapid determination of the dynamic resistance of materials designed to be subject to strong shearing loads (e.g. fabrics) or liable to be damaged by sharp or heavy objects (e.g. paper bags). Subsequently, the test was naturally adopted for all materials in the form of sheet or films, cardboard, cloth, knitted fabrics, plastic films, aluminum foil, non-woven fabrics, complex flexible packaging etc.

Elmendorf tensile testing machine is not applied to sparse fabric or stretch materials which the tearing direction might be the shift in the test.

Compressed air of 0.4~ 0.7 mPa is required.

  Test Method

 

Ø    What is the Tear of Fabric?

Elmendorf tear definition refers to the phenomenon that yarn inside the fabric breaks one by one and tear the fabric into a crack when a part of the fabric edge is subjected to concentrated loading.

The Elmendorf tear strength of textiles is affected not only by the fabric’s properties but also by every finishing process of fiber. According to the actual development requirements of textiles, the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) has formulated a series of textile tearing strength standards (ASTM D1709, ASTM D1938, ASTM D1004 PDF, ASTM D1922 PDF, ISO 6388-2 PDF), and ISO followed these standards.

The tear usually occurs during the use of military uniforms, sails, tents, umbrellas, hammocks and so on, and tear strength is the greatest ability to resist tearing during the use of fabric. Elmendorf tear test is a common method for measuring tear strength, it is used to test various international standards according to the Elmendorf tear test formula. Elmendorf test can be used not only for testing the tear strength of the fabric, but also for testing the tear strength of some plastics and cartons.

Elmendorf Tear Test Procedure

1. Prepare samples: Make corresponding samples according to test standards.

2. Adjusting pressure gauge: Check whether the pressure gauge value is in the range of 0.6 ±1 MPa, otherwise, adjust the pressure relief valve to meet the requirements. Start the Elmendorf tearing tester, enter the working interface and set the corresponding parameters.

3. Zero adjustments and calibration: Adjust the Elmendorf tearing tester calibration according to the test manual, and adjust the angle, then return to the main page to start testing.

4. Sample test: Select suitable hammer to test all samples and save Elmendorf tear test results.

(For detailed steps, please refer to the Elmendorf tear test manual of random incidental)

Notice

1. Before using, place the hammer in place, tighten the jam hand wheels.

2. When the instrument works, keep your hands and head beyond the turning area of Handle 11; the handle should not touch any obstacles.

3. When the instrument has been unused for a long time, you should swing it for more times before use, and proceed with calibration operations.

4. Be sure to have the swing device in a locked state when moving the instrument.

5. No strong electromagnetic interference around.

6. Clean the Elmendorf tear test units when the instrument is not used, store the pendulum properly to avoid collision, friction or corrosion.
