Gurley 2-Point Bending Stiffness Tester

The Gurley Model 4171S digital bending stiffness tester Ideal for evaluating a wide range of flat and sheet materials as diverse as fine films, to asphalt roofing shingles. There are 15 possible specimen sizes with the clamps accomodating materials up to 50 mm wide and 6 mm thick.

The Gurley Bending Stiffness Tester measures the force required to bend a wide variety of flat materials under controlled and repeatable conditions. This force can be equated to stiffness, resilience, flexibility, or pliability depending on the nature of the material and the purpose of the test. A lookup table, and/or software bring all combinations of size and counter weights to a common range of readings on a continuous scale from 1 – 3,358,720.
