GABOMETER® Intelligent Universal Flexometer Analyzing & Testing

GABOMETER® Intelligent Material Testing Our GABOMETER® system – developed on the basis of the established Goodrich Flexometer – provides accurate measurements of heat build-up as well as blow-out tests and determination of the thermal set. Both force- and elongation-controlled tests can be carried out with this state-of-the-art flexometer. The GABOMETER® is well suited to the task of improving the thermal dissipation and durability of semi-finished tire components, dampers or absorbers. Optionally, the new generation can also measure a material’s stiffness (E modulus) and damping (tan δ) values....
