About This Product
Bennewart flex testing is used to see how a material resists the growth of a cut when it is flexed again and again. It can also show how surface patterns affect the start and growth of cracks. The test is applied mainly to footwear outsoles, although certain other flexible components can be tested. The specimen is held by its two ends, one grip is oscillated, and the counter records the cycles so that the specimen can be checked at set intervals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Bennewart Flex Tester determine?
It determines the resistance of a component of material to cut growth during repeated flexing. It can also be used to assess the effect of surface patterns on crack initiation and growth.
Q2. What is it mainly used for?
The test is especially applicable to the outsoles of footwear, but it may also be used with certain other flexible components.
Q3. How are the test cycles counted?
A six digit pre-set electronic digital counter counts the test cycles and stops the motor after the pre-set number of cycles.
