Tester for testing seals with anchoring feet and their use

The present invention relates to a testing device for testing seals, in particular segment lining gaskets, with anchoring feet. Object of the present invention is to simplify the testing of such seals. To achieve the object, the invention provides a testing device for testing seals, in particular segment lining gaskets, with at least one anchoring foot, ready wherein a. the test apparatus (1) at least a first plate (2) having a first recess (3) the first surface (4) and at least a second plate (12) having a second recess (13) having second surface (14), wherein the surfaces (4, 14) of the plates (2, 12) to each other at least partly with their recesses (3, 13) is substantially opposite and b. in the first and second recess (3, 13) at least two plate elements (5, 7; 15, 17) are detachably secured, said plate members (5, 7; 15, 17) are designed so that they (in the recesses 3, 13) each have a groove (8, copy 18) into which an at least one anchoring foot (10) having seal (9, 19) is so inserted that i) the seal (9, 19) (by means of a between the plate members 5, 7; 15, 17) and is anchored to the at least one anchoring foot (mold closure 10) formed, or ii) between the plate members (5, 7; 15, 17) and the at least one anchoring foot (10) of the seal (9, 19 ) a space (20) is formed into which a thermosetting or curable material (21) can be introduced, so that the seal (9, 19) after hardening of the material (21) by means of a (between the plate members 5, 7; 15 , 17), the cured material (21) and formed the at least one anchoring foot (10) Formschlus ses is anchored.
