To measure a fabric's tearing strength, a small rectangular fabric sample is placed between the device's fixed and moveable jaws where it is torn rapidly by the motion of a falling pendulum. The energy loss during tearing is then assessed. tear tester (traducció pendent) tear testers (traducció pendent) 2026-03-30 20:53:44
