Rugged & cost-effective, the Model DE-1600-CS 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. Console or Software-driven, the DE-1600-CS includes
a Solid-style Pendulum available in medium to high capacities including the base
1600 gram capacity, with 3200 gram, and 6400 gram Add-Weights for additional measurement
capacities from a single pendulum. Meets ASTM D-1922, D-689, D-646, TAPPI T-414 and
ISO 1974.
Stand-alone or software-driven tear resistance measurement couldn’t be simpler. The
Model DE-1600-CS utilizes a precision rotary encoder, pneumatic-assist sample clamps
and pendulum release, an integral sample pre-cut knife, and an easy-to-use keypad
interface with 4-line LCD display designed to enhance any quality control department
(as shown in photo top-right).
Rugged and cost-effective, the Series DE-1600 Digital Elmendorf product line from
Oakland can provide accurate measurement of tear resistance of paper, fabrics, sheet
materials, and plastic films. Simple and flexible design offers medium to high pendulum
capacity changes using Add-Weights and a Single Solid Pendulum. Our DE-0200 Series
offers low to medium pendulum capacity changes, also using Add-Weights but with a
Single Framework Pendulum (see photo bottom-right).
Statistics are reported on the easy-to-read 4 line LCD display on the front panel,
and the
DE-1600-CS can be converted to full software-controlled operation with our Model
DX-8300 Impact & Tear Quality Control Software (see Software Sample Screen center-right,
and our Model DE-1600-SS Software-Controlled Digital Elmendorf Tear Tester, bottom-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
