Flex Fatigue Testing

    The characteristics of flexibility and flex fatigue resistance frequently represent the key reasons that polymers are selected to comprise certain products. Cut-growth resistance represents an added dimension to flex fatigue and is frequently investigated under bending strain or high extension strain circumstances.

    • Fatigue to failure: Monsanto FTF
    • Mandrel fatigue: Ross Tester
    • High Deflection Fatigue: DeMattia Tester
      May be coupled with cut growth resistance testing
    • Compression fatigue: BF Goodrich tester
      • Permanent set resistance
      • Heat build-up
      • Dynamic properties
      • Blow-out time
