The Ross Flex Tester, also known as the Ross Flexing Tester, is a device designed to determine the resistance of vulcanized or synthetic elastomers to cut growth. This is done under continuous bend flexing at a 90° angle.
The test is based on the ASTM D1052 standard, which covers a method for measuring the cut growth in rubber vulcanizates subjected to repeated bend flexing. The test gives an estimate of the ability of rubber vulcanizates to resist crack growth of a pierced specimen when subjected to bend flexing.
The Ross Flexing Tester is suitable for testing materials such as rubber, sole, PU, and others. It is equipped with 12 grips and can test 12 specimens at the same time. The bending speed is 100±3 CPM. The tester is also equipped with a digital system that has a memory function1.
