Description

Test practices are useful for determining the resistance of flexible packaging materials to flex formed pin hole failures, failures in integrity of one or more plies of a multi-ply structure, and breakdown of barrier properties such as gas or moisture transmission rates.

ASTM F392 specifies a variety of conditioning levels, and the Gelbo Flex Tester can be programmed to comply with each method. The sample (200mm x 280mm) is attached to the instrument mandrels with two clamps. The instrument then provides a twisting action combined with a horizontal oscillation and the number of cycles are counted.

RDM Test Equipment have set the standard in precision and reliability for over 30 years. Please Contact Us and we’ll work with you to understand your requirements and provide a solution
