Cell Instruments Co., Ltd.

DESCRIPTION:

Applications: The SLD-01 tear tester, named after inventor Armin Elmendorf, measures tear resistance by determining the average force, typically in grams or millinewtons (mN), needed to tear a sample after initiation. This is achieved by tearing one or more material sheets over a fixed distance using a pendulum mechanism. The energy expended in tearing is measured by the pendulum's potential energy loss. This test assesses a material's tear strength, aiding in its suitability for applications requiring durability. Test Process: A cutting knife in the tester is used to create a slit that ends 43mm from the far edge of the sample. Then a pendulum mechanism is released under the influence of gravity, propagating the existing slit through the remaining 43mm of the sample. During this process, the amount of energy lost by the pendulum during the tear propagation is then used to calculate the average tearing force. Technical Features: PLC Control and HMI Touch Screen: industrial-level programmable logic controller (PLC) and Human-Machine Interface (HMI) touch screen, ensuring precision and ease of use. Standard Conformance: All components and parts strictly adhere to industry standards, ensuring consistency and reliability in testing.
