Accurate measurements of Heat Build-up or Blow out processes and the determination of the thermal set can be realised by our GABOMETER^® system – a development based on the established Goodrich Flexometer.

Both, force and elongation controlled tests can be carried out with this modern type of Flexometer. The GABOMETER^® is suitable to improve the thermal dissipation and the durability of semi-finished tire components, dampers or absorbers.

Additionally, the new generation provides the measurement of the material stiffness (E modulus, tan δ - option) and damping.

Pair of insulated compression sample holders aimed for Flexometer tests equipped with a contact thermocouple for recording the sample temperature on the surface of the test specimen during Heat Build-up tests.

Recording of the sample “centre” temperature within the core of the test specimen during heat build-up tests with a needle type thermocouple (horizontal operation) manual mode (Option).

Automatic recording of the sample “centre” temperature within the core of the test specimen after heat build-up tests with a needle type thermocouple (vertical operation) driven by a pneumatic penetration system automatic mode (Option).
