Leather lastometer

Leather Cracking Resistance Tester (Ball Burst Method) China Supplier

Leather Lastometer is a leather testing instrument used to determine the distension and strength of the leather grain or finished surface through the ball burst method.

It is applicable to all flexible leathers and particularly suitable for the determination of leathers for footwear uppers.

Test Principle

A circular specimen is secured around its edge and is gradually distended by forcing a steel metal ball attached to the end of the plunger, against the center of the specimen on the reverse side. At certain distension, the force and distance traveled by the plunger are measured when cracks occur on the wearing surface of the specimen, or it sustains other permanent physical damage. This distension is recorded as the cracking point or first damage. At higher distension, the material usually bursts, and this distension may also be recorded.
