Bally Flex Tester ULB-F11 for Leather Quality Assurance - Reliable Testing Solutions from China Suppliers and Factory
Application
Bally leather flexing tester: to determine the resistance of a material to cracking or other types of failure at flexing creases. The method is applicable to all flexible materials and in particular leathers, coated fabrics and textiles used in footwear uppers.
Bally Flex Tester Feature
The test specimen is folded in half then one end is secured in a clamp. The test specimen is then turned inside out and the free end secured in a second clamp at 90 degrees to the first. The first clamp is repeatedly oscillated through a fixed angle at a defined rate causing the test specimen to flex. At set intervals the number of flexing cycles is recorded and the damage to the test specimen is visually assessed. The test can be carried out with wet or dry test specimens at ambient.
