Leister EXAMO Tensiometer
(according to DIN 51221 part 1)
Application
Tensiometer for peeling, shearing and tensile tests of geomembranes, geotextiles and films.
(see DVS 2225 part II, DVS 2203 part II, BAM )
To determine the strength of a welding sample the test piece (according to DVS, DIN 53455 or ASTM) is fastened
into the tensiometer and stretched under constant speed until it tears.
Peak force (F
) and tear force (F

Warning
Danger to life when opening the tool, as live components and connections ar exposed. Unplug the
tool before opening it.
Connect the tool to a line/mains socket with protective earth. Every interruption of the protective
earth inside or outside of the tool is dangerous!
Only use extension cables with protective earth!
Caution
