HBU 523 Gabometer

Accurate measurements of heat build-up or blowout processes and the determination of the thermal set can be realised by our HBU 523 Gabometer system – a development based on the established Goodrich Flexometer.

Both force- and elongation-controlled tests can be carried out with this state-of-the-art type of flexometer. The HBU 523 Gabometer is suitable for improving the thermal dissipation and the durability of semi-finished tire components, dampers or absorbers.

Additionally, the new generation allows for measurement of the material stiffness (E modulus, tanδ option) and damping.

Your Advantages

• Heat build-up and blowout tests according to Goodrich (DIN 53533, ASTM D 623, ISO 4666/3, ISO 4666/4, BS 903 part A50 and JIS K 6265)
• Goodrich flexometer tests
• Static: StrainStrain describes a deformation of a material, which is loaded mechanically by an external force or stress. Rubber compounds show creep properties, if a static load is applied.strain or StressStress is defined as a level of force applied on a sample with a well-defined cross section. (Stress = force/area). Samples having a circular or rectangular cross section can be compressed or stretched. Elastic materials like rubber can be stretched up to 5 to 10 times their original length.stress controlled load mode available
• Dynamic: StrainStrain describes a deformation of a material, which is loaded mechanically by an external force or stress. Rubber compounds show creep properties, if a static load is applied.strain or StressStress is defined as a level of force applied on a sample with a well-defined cross section. (Stress = force/area). Samples having a circular or rectangular cross section can be compressed or stretched. Elastic materials like rubber can be stretched up to 5 to 10 times their original length.stress controlled load mode available
• Wide frequency range (option)
• Wide temperature range (option)
