NextGen’s Ross Flex Tester tests the resistance of materials to cut growth. One of the critical components of the test is the diameter of the rod used during the testing process. The tester is designed to bend the test specimens over a 10-mm (0.4 in.) diameter rod through a 90-degree angle during each of the test cycles.

The diameter of the rod used during the test should be consistent with the industry standards set out in ASTM D1052, ISO 5423, and SATRA TM60. NextGen Material Testing Ross Flex Tester complies with these standards, and the rod diameter used during testing is optimized to ensure consistent and reliable results.

The maximum diameter of the rod used during the Ross Flex Test is 10 mm (0.4 in.). This diameter ensures that the test specimens can be bent freely over the rod without excessive stress or strain, while still providing sufficient resistance to ensure accurate and reliable testing results.
