This tester is designed to handle tear resistance testing across textiles, nonwovens, paper, paperboard, and thin films on a single platform. That makes it a strong fit for labs that work with multiple material types and want one Elmendorf tearing tester for routine QC, development work, and material comparison.

When you switch between fabric, paper, and film testing, the main setup considerations are the method you need to run, how the specimen is prepared, and which tear-force range best fits the material. We offer pneumatic clamping, automatic sample cutting, and multiple force ranges of 16 N, 32 N, and 64 N to support more consistent handling across different applications.
