GABOMETER – Intelligent Universal Flexometer

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.
