Tensile and Shear Tester

The Tensile and Shear Tester analyzes hand movements-referred to as “tensile” and “shear”-performed by artisans and professionals when judging a fabric’s texture. This device performs these movements mechanically, making it possible to obtain objective numerical data.

Obtainable data includes tensile/shear rigidity, tensile energy, elongation rates, and recoverability for such targets as cloth, paper, non-woven fabric, and film.

Tensile and shear characteristic data is useful for determining stiffness and anti-drape stiffness. These properties often influence form stability and the tendency for wrinkles.

Merkmale

Improved data accuracy

Sample slack is removed through motor chucking and clamping, eliminating errors caused by the user and thus improving the accuracy of data.
