The GenElm Series follows a fixed geometry to make every test comparable. The clamp gap is set at 7.0 ±0.25 mm, the slit length at 20 ±0.2 mm, and the tear travel at 43 ±0.15 mm. These dimensions are aligned with the requirements of major international standards, which ensures that results can be trusted across different labs.
Keeping these parameters constant is critical because even small variations in slit length or clamp spacing can change how the tear develops. By locking these values into the instrument design, the GenElm Series removes guesswork from specimen preparation and provides a repeatable baseline for testing paper, films, and textiles.
