Overview:
The instrument is built according to International Standards about fatigue, which describe test methods for the determination of the resistance of vulcanized rubbers under repeated deformation.
This instrument permits to perform flex cracking/crack growth test and Tension fatigue test.
Temperature Control:
The sample holding system is located in an environmental chamber
Different environmental chambers are available:
Heating Chamber: permits to set the temperature between room temperature and 200 °C
Cooling Chamber: permits to set the temperature between -30 °C and room temperature
