Flex Tester with Integrated Freezer
1. Function and Application
The Flex Tester with Integrated Freezer is designed to evaluate the flexural fatigue resistance of leather, vinyl, composites, surface finishes, and other materials under cold conditions. It combines cold chamber conditioning with flexural testing, allowing materials to be tested at low temperatures to simulate real-world extreme environments.
This system is suitable for automotive, footwear, upholstery, and materials research applications where cold performance and stiffness under low temperatures are critical.
2. Applicable Test Standards
Designed to perform cold flexural fatigue testing as required by Bally Flex, Cold Pinch Fold, and Flex Cold Capable Testers.
Supports cold test protocols for leather, vinyl, and composites, following manufacturer-specific or custom material testing standards.
