Electronic Tear Tester
Measure tear resistance in flexible sheets, paper, textiles and nonwovens.
An electronic pendulum tear tester for films, sheets, PVC, PVDC, waterproofing membranes, paper, board, textiles and nonwovens.

Workflow and key features
The SLD-1000Z measures the energy consumed as a released pendulum propagates a tear through the specimen. Electronic measurement, pneumatic clamping and automatic release reduce manual variation across a broad material range.
- Electronic measurement improves tear-force resolution and repeatability
- Pneumatic clamping and automatic pendulum release reduce operator influence
- Multiple pendulum capacities cover low- and higher-strength materials
- Touchscreen curve and result display support rapid review
- Standalone and PC software control provide flexible data workflows
