Tear strength and tear resistance need to be measured where a product is intended to tear, e.g. along a crease or perforation or to open a package, as much as to simply ensure strength. In some materials a tear will propagate rapidly, predictably or evenly, in others it will not. Tear testing methods set standard conditions under which a product or standard material sample can be treated in a repeatable way. Usually the tear is initiated with a cut or notch in the prepared sample.
Some tear test methods use a falling pendulum to create impact, but most apply a tension, and Mecmesin meets these standards with its range of universal testers.
Our top-of-the-range MultiTest-i tear testers provide optimum testing performance and evaluation options, enabling you to get the most from your test measurements.
Operated via an easy-to-use touch screen, our MultiTest-xt test stands enable fast and efficient routine testing on the production floor in one complete solution.
Our entry-level MultiTest-d test stands are a cost-effective solution for straightforward tear tests.
For simple test applications a Mecmesin manual test stand, such as an MDD used with either a BFG or CFG digital force gauge offers an affordable solution.
