De-Mattia Flex tester is used for checking the resistance of vulcanized rubber or synthetic elastomers to cut growth. The rubber materials forms crack when subjected to repeat flexing or bending under specified conditions continuously. Cracks develop in a part of the surface where stress is developed during flexing or if the part initially contains cracks to extend in a direction perpendicular to the stress.
TEXCARE makes advanced DeMattia Flexing Tester Conforms to ASTM D-430 method "B" ASTM D-813 and ISO 132 standards to measure the ability of soft rubber compounds, leather, and similar materials to resist dynamic fatigue. This DeMattia Flexing apparatus is used to determine the crack growth when subjected to repeated bending strain or flexing and to measure the resistance to dynamic fatigue of vulcanized rubber and elastomers test specimens when subjected to repeated bending and extension.
A key advantage of the TEXCARE De Mattia tester is that the upper and lower grips both move in opposite directions, thus resulting in reducing the level of vibration and the noise found in traditional DeMattia flexing fatigue testers.
