Bending Coating Tester Conical NOVOTEST BEND IK

The device allows to measure the elasticity and strength of coatings through bending the metal plate with tested coating applied around a cone.

The sample is clamped against a conical mandrel and is bent around the mandrel by a roller mounted on a hand operated lever. The diameter of the mandrel at the point where the coating of the sample starts to crack can be determined from a scale (3-37mm) marked on the sample clamp.

The method consist in the determining of the minimum diameter after bending around it, the painted metal plate, does not get the mechanical destruction or delamination of single- or multi-layer paint film.

The instrument consist of the frame with fixed cone for tested samples and a special mechanism for rounding plates around the cone. Pre-prepared tested sample is placed between the clamps and secured by rotating the handle. After that push the tested object to the top of rod by rotating the handle and bending the plate around the cone.

The NOVOTEST BEND IK is used to determine the elasticity or resistance, adhesion and elongation of coatings on sheet metal in accordance with ISO 6860, ASTM D 522-A, BS 3900-E11, ECCA T7.
