The sample is held in guides to ensure correct location. On closing the apparatus, the sample is clamped lightly between plates under a known spring pressure.
The action of the apparatus is to raise the cutting blade to the correct level to produce the cut depth and then slice the sample to ensure that the cut is clean.
The apparatus is mounted on a baseplate which may be screwed to a bench. When the spring loaded latch is released the specimen clamp plate secures the sample.
The operating knob is now pushed inwards. In this position the blade is cutting the sample. After two or three strokes the sample is removed.
A suitable lubricant should be used on the sample during the cutting operation, otherwise the depth of cut may be incorrect.
-
The instrument is suitable for preparing rubber, elastomers, and other flexible materials used in tear resistance testing.
-
Yes, replacement blades are available to maintain cutting performance and ensure continued accuracy. Please contact us to order your replacement blade.
-
A consistent nick ensures that tear propagation begins from the same point on every specimen, improving the repeatability and accuracy of test results.
-
Routine cleaning, blade inspection, and blade replacement when necessary will help maintain performance and prolong instrument life.
