ISO 4675 Rubber or Plastic Coated Fabrics - Low Temperature Bending Test

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 4675 testing. ISO 4675 specifies a method for determining the ability of fabrics coated with rubber or plastic to resist the action of low temperature when subjected to bending at certain temperatures after exposure for specified periods of time.

The low-temperature bend test, outlined in ISO 4675, involves subjecting a coated fabric sample to a specified temperature while bending over a specified mandrel diameter. The sample is typically cooled to test temperature and then bent on the mandrel. The test is considered successful if the coated fabric does not show visible cracks or other significant forms of damage after bending.

This method can be applied to materials with a thickness in the range of 0,1 mm to 2,2 mm. For materials thicker than this, changes to the standard equipment apply. Since rubber or plastic coated fabrics are used in different applications requiring low temperature stretching, a general relationship between this test and service performance cannot be given or implied.

The ISO 4675 standard includes details on:

• Device: Necessary equipment to perform the test, including mandrel, clamps, temperature controllers and other related instruments.
• Test samples: Information on how to prepare coated fabric samples for testing, including their size and number.
• Test procedure: A step-by-step process for performing the low temperature bending test, including how to cool the samples to the desired temperature and bend them on the mandrel.
• Evaluation criteria: Guidelines on how to evaluate test results, taking into account factors such as visible cracks, delamination or other types of damage to the coated fabric.
• Reporting: Recommendations on what information should be included in the test report, such as sample identification, test temperature, and observation of any damage.

ISO standards, including ISO 4675, play an important role in ensuring the consistent quality and performance of products in a variety of industries. Manufacturers, regulators and testing laboratories use these standards to verify that products meet certain requirements and are safe for their intended use.
