Designed to test the mechanical properties of polymers at low temperatures.

The Cold Flex Tester determines how low temperatures affect the torsional stiffness properties of flexible materials, including PVC extrusion compounds, by measuring the temperature at which a test specimen is twisted through a known angular displacement using a pulley system by a specified torque. The apparatus complies with BS2782: Part 1: Method 104B, ISO458/1, 458/2 and ASTMD1043 International Test Standards.
