Cryogenic Fabric Flex and Abrasion System
1. Product Function and Application
The Cryogenic Fabric Flex and Abrasion System is designed to evaluate the flexibility, durability, and abrasion resistance of materials at extremely low temperatures, such as –320°F (–196°C) using a liquid nitrogen cooling chamber.
This system allows researchers and material engineers to assess how textiles, leathers, composites, or coated fabrics perform under cryogenic conditions commonly encountered in aerospace, automotive, and protective gear applications.
The system tests two specimens simultaneously, providing consistent and repeatable results under sub-zero conditions.
2. Applicable Test Standards
Custom-designed for cryogenic material flex and abrasion evaluation
Capable of adaptation to OEM and laboratory-defined procedures simulating extreme low-temperature environments
