Leather Testing Attachments

Lastometer
This is also known as the 'Ball Burst
Test' and identifies the strength
and distension of the grain.
The MT-LQplus exceeds the
requirements of the Standard as
the test is made without stopping
the test to measure grain crack.

Softness
The loop test as means of
quantifying leather softness has
been published by the BLC - The
Leather Technology Centre.

Stitch Line Jig
Used for measurement of the strength
of upper or lining material at the stitch
line of footwear originating from either
a single or multiple holes in the sample.
The A/SLJ1 Stitch Line Jig meets the
requirement of BS 5131.

OTHER TESTS

Bagginess

To measure the residual deformation of the test sample after cyclic
biaxial strain.

Adhesive Peel Test

To measure peel strength of adhesive joints where one or both substrates
are flexible.

Tensile Test

To measure tensile strength, elongation at specific load, elongation at break,
modulus, load and elongation at grain crack.

Application Studies are available for the testing of leather products using the TA.XT2i, TA.XTplus, TA.XTExpress or TA.HDplus texture analysers.

In addition, scientific papers have been published which reference the use of the TA.XT2i/TA.XTplus/
TA.HDplus in the testing of leather products.
