DIN 53128 — Elmendorf Tearing Resistance (Paper)
DIN 53128 is the test method for the tearing resistance of paper using the Elmendorf method. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What DIN 53128 Covers
It measures the force to propagate a tear through paper with a pendulum, characterizing paper toughness in the German framework.
How the Test Is Run
Pre-cut specimens are torn by a falling pendulum, and the energy lost gives the tearing resistance.
Why It Matters
Tear resistance indicates paper toughness and fiber quality; a calibrated Elmendorf tester and controlled conditioning are used.
