ASTM D-430, ISO 132 & DIN 53522-Compliant Rubber Fatigue & Crack-Growth Testing

A DeMattia Flexing Fatigue Tester is a precision dynamic testing instrument that evaluates how vulcanized rubber, leather, EVA foam, and other flexible materials resist crack initiation, crack growth, and fatigue failure when subjected to thousands or even millions of repeated bending and stretching cycles. By replicating the cyclic deformation that real components experience in service — tires, hoses, seals, conveyor belts, footwear soles, infusion-pump tubing, and rubber-bonded automotive parts — the DeMattia test reveals how long a material will last before cracking, and how fast any crack will propagate. The result is critical predictive data that prevents catastrophic in-service failures, supports regulatory compliance, and drives material formulation improvements.

Every Qualitest DeMattia platform is engineered to deliver the precision, repeatability, and international-standards compliance that demanding rubber and elastomer laboratories require. Adjustable test frequencies (60–300 rpm), configurable stroke lengths (0–60 mm), grip separation distances (up to 100 mm), automatic cycle counting (up to 1,000,000 cycles), and ISO 132-aligned calibration services together ensure that every flex-fatigue result is universally accepted, audit-ready, and defensible in customer certifications and regulatory submissions.

Qualitest offers a comprehensive DeMattia testing portfolio covering every laboratory size, throughput, and analytical-sophistication requirement. 

 

Predict Fatigue. Prevent Failure.

Every rubber component in service is on the slow, invisible journey from intact to cracked to broken — and the only way to know when that journey will end is to test it before the customer does. A poorly characterized rubber compound means tires that fail prematurely, medical devices that crack in the field, conveyor belts that snap mid-shift, and seals that leak under critical load. The laboratories and manufacturers who consistently deliver durable, reliable, regulator-compliant rubber products are the ones equipped with DeMattia flex-fatigue testers built for precision, repeatability, and now AI-powered objectivity — and the Qualitest DeMattia portfolio gives you exactly that.

Whether you are developing the next generation of tire compounds, verifying rubber components for an automotive OEM qualification program, certifying medical-device elastomers for FDA submission, or supporting fundamental research into rubber-fatigue mechanisms, Qualitest has the DeMattia platform engineered to meet your exact needs. From the dependable QualiDeMattia™ 300 Series to the high-throughput Standard Model and the flagship AI Camera, every Qualitest DeMattia tester is built to deliver world-class fatigue performance backed by industry-leading service and support.

Qualitest Helps Industry Leader Increase the Safety and Reliability of Synthetic Rubber

Flex testers are an essential tool for ensuring that rubber components are strong enough to resist cracking in everything from cars and ships to buildings and bridges. These instruments are commonly used to test vulcanized rubber, soft rubbers, leathers, artificial leathers, and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) by extending or bending samples in an environmental chamber. The rubber industry uses these instruments to ensure that synthetically
