Ross Flex Tester I9 (Digital)

OVERVIEW The Ross Flex Test gives a measure of the resistance of sole material to cracking resulting from flexing in wears. The material is repeatedly flexed through 90º over a mandrel at a specified temperature after a small cut has been made right through with a chisel. The rate of growth of this cut is a measure of the tendency of the material to crack. Paramount Ross Flex Tester i9™ is an ergonomically designed Equipment with sturdy mechanism to get Accurate & Reliable Results. It consists of an arrangement to repeatedly bend the test specimens around a mandrel by an angle of 90º at the specified frequency at a specified temperature. The specimen grip has provision for holding three pairs of test specimens at a time. The grip is pivoted on bearings to give a smooth angular movement. This movement of the grip causes the test specimens to bend over a mandrel rod with its axis coinciding with the axis of movement of the grip. An electronic preset digital counter with backup memory is provided to record the total numbers of bending cycles and to stop the machine after a pre-set number of bending cycles. SALIENT FEATURES : To Determine the resistance of Non-leather Shoe Soles to Cracking in wear due to ­flexing. Very useful for Rubber products, Shoe Soles, PU, PVC, Foam to measure the degree of damage, cracking and reduced decline with continuous stretch and bending.
