| Abstract/Contents: | "A simple, inexpensive device to measure the linear tear strength (Tensile strength) of a strip of turfgrass sod was constructed for use in a research program. The device was fabricated from readily available components. A standard torque wrench served as the force measuring device, providing torque readings that were converted readily to linear force measurements. The device worked very effectively." |
