Operating Principle and Testing Procedure

Bally leather flexing tester: test specimen is folded in half then one end is secured in a clamp. The test specimen is then turned inside out and the free end secured in a second clamp at 90 degrees to the first. The first clamp is repeatedly oscillated through a fixed angle at a defined rate causing the test specimen to flex. 

At set intervals the number of flexing cycles is recorded and the damage to the test specimen is visually assessed. The bally flexometer test can be carried out with wet or dry test specimens at ambient.
