Hung Ta™ Model HT8021 DeMattia Flex Tester

CCSi features this high quality, durable apparatus for evaluating crack growth of vulcanized rubber when exposed to repetitive flexing, as described in ASTM D813 “Standard Test Method for Rubber Deterioration-Crack Growth”, ASTM D430 “Standard Test Methods for Rubber Deterioration-Dynamic Fatigue,” Method B, and related methods. NOTE

The Hung Ta™ Model HT8021 DeMattia Tester features a quality electric motor and transmission assembly which provides 300 ± 10 cycles per minute at an adjustable stroke. The clamping mechanism is adjustable to induce varying amounts of stress on the test specimens and to accommodate specimens of varying configurations.

The Model HT8021 DeMattia is equipped with an easy—to—use three station sample clamping mechanism. Its compact footprint saves precious laboratory space and is designed as “benchtop” instrument.

CCSi also provides the D430, Method B cutting dies and the D813 mold required to perform the DeMattia tests.
