About This Product
Flex testers show how rubber and similar flexible materials stand up to repeated bending, which matters for items such as shoe soles and tyre sidewalls. The specimen is bent and straightened again and again, and the number of cycles is counted until it cracks or the cracks grow. With one fixed and one reciprocating grip, each specimen is flexed and unflexed in turn. The De-Mattia Flex Tester can be supplied and exported to buyers in Côte d'Ivoire, Mauritius, Cambodia, United Arab Emirates, Guyana and Slovenia.
