Tear Growth, Peel and Adhesion Characteristics

Tear growth tests are frequently used to evaluate the behavior of a foil which has been pre-damaged with an initial tear. In addition so-called ‘trouser-legs’ or trapezoidal specimens with a defined notch are used.

Typical Products for this Application:

Load frames to 5 kN

Three models are available - 500 N, (112lbf), 1 kN (224 lbf), 2.5 kN (562 lbf) and 5 kN (1125 lbf).

ProLine

The two-column ProLine testing machine is specially designed for function-testing components and for routine materials testing.

Allround-Line

Finding the optimum solution to your test requirements is easy thanks to the Allround Line's wide range of load frames. Options include table-top and floor-mounted testing machines with nominal forces ranging up to 250 kN, various heights and widths and a second test area.
