Tearing Strength Tester i9™ (12.8 Kg), Certification : CE Certified

Listing ID #5962898

A Tearing Strength Tester is used to determine the ballistic tearing strength of heavy woven fabrics, plastic films, paper, or other heavy materials. The instrument works on Elmendorf principle. Range 3200 to 12800 gram (g) by adding augmenting weight.

Paramount Tearing Strength Tester i9™ (12.8 Kg) is made of Complete Stainless-Steel. It is ergonomically designed, consisting of a sector pendulum pi voted on anti-friction ba ll bearing on a vertical bracket fixed on a rigid metallic base. The test specimen in shape of a rectangular piece is held between two jaws, one of which is mounted on the pendulum and the other is mounted on the vertical arm. The jaws clamps are mounted in such a manner that their holding faces are aligned with each other when the pendulum is locked in its raised position. An adjustable knife is also mounted on the vertical arm. It is centred between the two jaws for making initial slit in the test specimen. The pendulum is released by lifting a brake release lever. This action causes the test specimen to tear right through. The tearing strength is indicated on a calibrated scale fitted on the pendulum by a fine pointer. A Set of calibrated weights are supplied with the tester for verification of calibration of the scale at 3200, 6400 and 12800 grams capacities. In order to increase the capacity of the tester from 3200 grams, augmenting weights of 6400 grams and 12800 grams are supplied as standard accessories.
