Rugged & cost-effective, the PC Software-controlled Model DE-0200-SF Digital Elmendorf
Tear Tester provides accurate tear resistance values of paper & plastic films with
resolution to 0.1 gram; accuracy to +/- 0.2% or better. The DE-1600-SF includes
a Framework-style Pendulum available in low to medium capacities including the base
200 gram capacity, with 400 gram, 800 gram, and 1600 gram Add-Weights for additional
measurement capacities from a single pendulum. Meets ASTM D-1922, TAPPI T-414 and
ISO 1974.
Software-driven tear resistance measurement couldn’t be simpler. The Model DE-0200-SF
utilizes a precision rotary encoder, pneumatic-assist sample clamps and pendulum
release, an integral sample pre-cut knife, and an easy-to-use PC-based software package
with an interface designed to enhance any quality control department. The DE-0200-SF
console front panel interface includes an overlay with CLAMP and TEST buttons for
on-instrument test start sequences (shown in photo top-right) if desired.
Rugged and cost-effective, the Series DE-0200 Digital Elmendorf product line from
Oakland can provide accurate measurement of tear resistance of paper, fabrics, sheet
material, and plastic films. Simple and flexible design offers low to medium pendulum
capacity changes using Add-Weights and a Single Framework Pendulum. Our DE-1600
Series offers medium to high pendulum capacity testing, up to 6400 grams of tear
force, also using Add-Weights but with a Solid Pendulum (our Model DE-1600-SS shown
in photo bottom-right).
Statistics are reported on the easy-to-use software interface, with full tear resistance
data reporting, charting, and data export capability with our Model DX-8300 Impact
& Tear Quality Control Software (see Software Sample Screen in photo center-right).
A wide range of capacities are available to support your lab in testing a wide range
of materials. Contact the Oakland factory for a recommendation, or send in your
material samples for a free evaluation.
