Flex Fatigue & DeMattia testing remain as two of the most fundamental tests for understanding a rubber compound’s durability. By applying cyclic loading conditions up to 16 simultaneous samples, the MonTech FT 3000 Flex-Fatigue and DeMattia tester provides laboratories with a dynamic and versatile method of testing the life-cycle properties of elastomeric materials. The instrument features more flexibility in customization and technological adaptions for any application.
