The bending speed of the NextGen Material Testing Ross Flex Tester is an essential feature that enables it to simulate the bending and flexing of elastomers under real-world conditions. The industry standard is 1.7 ± 0.08 Hz, equivalent to 100 ± 5 cycles per minute (CPM). The tester is designed to bend the pierced area of the test specimen freely over a 10-mm (0.4 in.) diameter rod through a 90° angle during each test cycle.

The bending speed is a parameter that influences the accuracy and repeatability of test results. NextGen Ross Flex Tester’s precise and consistent bending speed ensures that the testing conditions are controlled and repeatable, allowing accurate and reliable results.

The tester’s bending speed is also adjustable, allowing for customized testing conditions based on the specific material being tested. This flexibility enables the Ross Flex Tester to be used for testing a variety of elastomers, including polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, and thermoplastic rubber foams.
