Description
The TQC Bend Test Conical Mandrel ‘Pro’ is a precision laboratory instrument designed to evaluate the elasticity and crack resistance of coatings, paints, and varnishes on metal panels. By bending test panels over a conical mandrel, it measures how well a coating can withstand elongation, deformation, and detachment. The conical shape allows testing across a wide range of diameters, from 3.1 mm to 38 mm, in a single test. The apparatus accommodates panels up to 100 × 180 mm with a maximum thickness of 0.8 mm, secured easily using an ergonomic quick-lever clamp.
Constructed from anodized aluminum and stainless steel, the Bend Test Conical Mandrel Pro features a large knob on the bending arm for smooth, controlled operation. Its sturdy build ensures long-term durability and precise, reproducible results. Compliant with ISO 6860 and ASTM D522, this instrument is ideal for quality control laboratories, research facilities, and coating development applications where accurate evaluation of flexibility and adhesion under bending stress is essential.
