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.
