Overview:
Our Tear Strength Testing service measures the force required to initiate or propagate a tear in materials such as textiles, leather, and flexible plastics. This test is essential for evaluating the durability, performance, and safety of materials used in clothing, upholstery, protective gear, and industrial applications.

Test Description:
Standardized test specimens are prepared (e.g., trouser tear or tongue tear shapes), and force is applied using a Universal Testing Machine configured with a tear strength setup. The test determines the amount of force (typically measured in N or lbf) needed to start and extend a tear under controlled conditions.

Purpose & Benefits:

• Assess resistance to tearing for quality and reliability
• Compare tear performance across materials and batches
• Support product development and material selection
• Ensure compliance with industry specifications and safety standards

Industries Served:
