Paper Tearing Tester

The FTS-01 Paper Tear Tester, developed and manufactured by Jinan Zhongce Electromechanical Equipment Co., Ltd., is used for testing the tearing performance of paper, paperboard, and other paper products. This testing instrument complies with standards such as ISO 6383-1-1983, ISO 6383-2-1983, ISO 1974, ASTM D1922, ASTM D1424, ASTM D689, and TAPPI T414. It adopts an electronic measurement method, with the system controlled by a computer, offering high automation and facilitating quick and convenient test operations for users. With optional pendulum capacities up to 6400gf, it meets various testing needs and is highly favored by customers.

Paper Tear Tester

Main Parameters of the FTS-01 Paper Tear Tester

Pendulum Capacity: 200gf, 400gf, 800gf, 1600gf, 3200gf, 6400gf

Air Source Pressure: 0.6 MPa (air source to be provided by the user)

Air Source Interface: Φ4 mm polyurethane tube

Dimensions: 510 mm (L) × 380 mm (W) × 560 mm (H)

Power Supply: 220VAC 50Hz / 120VAC 60Hz

Net Weight: 21 kg (200gf basic pendulum)

Testing Principle: Based on the Elmendorf method, the pendulum is raised to a certain height to possess potential energy. When the pendulum swings down freely, it uses its stored energy to tear the sample. The computer control system calculates the energy consumed during tearing to determine the force required.

The FTS-01 Paper Tear Tester is a fundamental instrument for testing the tearing strength of paper and paperboard according to the Elmendorf method. It is suitable for measuring the tear strength of various types of paper and paperboard, complying with ISO 1974, TAPPI 414, and GB 455 standards.
