TF140C Elmendorf Tear Tester
Description: The TF140C Elmendorf Tear Tester is a falling-pendulum (Elmendorf-type) instrument designed to measure the ballistic tearing strength of textiles, plastics, paper, or board by propagating a single-rip tear from a cut. It is not suitable for sparse fabrics or stretch materials where the tearing direction may shift during testing.
