JIS P 8116 is the Japanese Industrial Standard for the out-of-plane tearing resistance of paper using the Elmendorf method. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What JIS P 8116 Covers
It measures the force to propagate a tear through paper with a pendulum, the JIS Elmendorf tear method.
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; a calibrated Elmendorf tester and controlled conditioning are used.
