Fabric & Textile Tester

De Mattia Flexing Tester is suitable to determine resistance to damage by flexing for rubber or plastics coated fabrics.

Product Introduction

Principle

A rectangular strip of coated fabric is folded twice so that its long edges meet forming a strip measuring 125mm*12.5mm. This folded strip is mounted between a pair of flat grips, one of which reciprocates, causing the folded test piece to be sent outwards five times per second. This high-speed folding of the test piece is continued for either a pre-set number of cycles or until damage to the test piece is apparent.
