Tear Testing 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.
Tear Testers
Tear testing is a measurement of the resistance of sheet type materials to tearing. A common approach is to apply a tension load to a sample that has been prepared with a cut, slit or notch to begin the controlled tear. Computer-controlled Tear Testers

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. Grips and FixturesMecmesin grips and fixtures are integral components of our test systems. We offer a wide range of tensile grips for tear testing applications. For specialised requirements we also offer a customised fixture design service to match your specification. |
Tear testing is a measurement of the resistance of sheet type materials to tearing. A common approach is to apply a tension load to a sample that has been prepared with a cut, slit or notch to begin the controlled tear. It is accomplished by holding the sample in tensile grips, one on each side of the tear, conditions for which are outlined by the applicable test standard. Processing machinery used in manufacturing sheet and film type materials can vary in their performance, hence the need for tear testing.
