I figured out a way to measure the bending on an apex
seal over a p-port that may occur at 7000 RPM or so.

Use eight steel rods 3/8 in diameter about one foot
long. That will simulate the distributed load on the apex seals.
Make a wind chime arrangement so the rods do not interfere
with each other. Use small SS wire wrapped over the apex
seal to apply the load every 1/4 inch or so.

Use a dial indicator to measure the deflection if any :)


Here are the 3D.
