<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for inspecting a flexible long body capable of directly inspecting kink properties with good reproducibility, and a method capable of manufacturing the flexible long body having highly uniform kink properties. <P>SOLUTION: The method for inspecting the flexible long body T includes a process for forming the central part of the flexible long body T into an annular shape and arranging one end part T1 and an other end part T2 of the flexible long body T on the same straight line, a process for holding the central part to a height range of 2-5 times with respect to the diameter of the flexible long body T and separating the other end part T2 from the one end part T1, and a process for measuring the movable length from the one end part T1 to the other end part T2 when the central part kinks. The method for manufacturing the flexible long body T has a process for sorting the flexible long body T wherein the movable length in this inspection method is more than a threshold value set corresponding to a use. The inspection apparatus 1 for the flexible long body T has a substrate 3 on which the flexible long body T is placed, a prescription plate 4 arranged on the substrate 3 so that a space S is demarcated, and a measuring mechanisms 5 arranged on the substrate 3. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
