Application
This is used to determine the propensity for materials

R
to crack or otherwise fail at flexing creases under the
low temperature environment, but can also be used
to assess whether leathers are likely to produce salt
spue. In particular the test simulates conditions in the
vamp part of footwear during walking. The test can
be conducted with either wet or dry specimens at
room temperature or with dry specimens at sub zero
temperatures. The method is applicable to all flexible
materials and in particular those used to
manufacture outers and linings of footwear uppers
such as leathers, coated fabrics and textiles.

Principle
Its principle :A square specimen of the material is folded over two inverted V-shaped clamps. The clamps are
able to move relative to one another so that as they become closer the specimen is flexed to produce one
downward crease surrounded by four upward creases. During the test the clamps oscillate at a constant
speed so that the specimen is repeatedly flexed. After a predetermined number of cycles the test is stopped
and the specimen is visually examined for signs of damage or salt spue.
