Scott Flex Tester
1. Product Introduction & Applications
The Scott Flex Tester is designed to evaluate the resistance of flexible materials to repeated back-and-forth bending or kneading. It is widely used in quality control, research, and material development to assess durability and fatigue performance.
Key Applications:
Testing natural and artificial leather for flexing and kneading resistance.
Assessing woven fabrics and other flexible sheet materials.
Determining cycles to failure or material degradation after a set number of flexing cycles.
Supporting R&D for material durability and product development.
Working Principle:
One end of the sample is fixed in the left fixture, the other end in the right fixture. The tester applies a specified stroke, pressure, and number of cycles to flex the material. After testing, the degree of damage or wear is evaluated objectively.
2. Conformity Standards
The Scott Flex Tester meets national and international standards for flexing and kneading resistance:
GB/T 8948-2008 — Leather flexing resistance test
JIS L1096 — Standard methods for leather testing
K6404 / ASO M403 — Industry-specific flexing/abrasion test standards
These standards ensure reproducible, reliable, and globally recognized test results.
