Cylindrical bend tester

The Cylindrical Bend Test is used to determine the elasticity adhesion and elongation of paint on sheet metal in accordance with ISO 1519.

A test panel (max. size 150 x 100 mm) is bent over a cylindrical mandrel.

The smaller the diameter of the mandrel, the larger the tension on the coating.

The test panel is then checked for cracks or damage in the coating.

The cylindrical Bend Tester is available as a metric and an imperial model.

Mandatory test in Qualicoat, QIB and GSB accredited laboratories.
