The TQC 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 luxurious desktop holder with 14 mandrels can also be wall mounted.
Mandatory test in Qualicoat, QIB and GSB accredited laboratories.
The TQC Cylindrical Bend Test is also designed to perform tests according to the latest standard ASTM D522, assessing the resistance of a coating, paint, varnish or related products to cracking and/or detachment from a surface when, subjected to bending around a cylindrical mandrel under standard conditions.
In this version, there is a set of 7 mandrels in imperial dimensions with diameters: 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 1"
incl. set of 14 mandrels with diameter of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 16, 19, 20, 25 and 32 mm. and mandrel storage rack
incl. set of 7 mandrels Imperial: 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 1" and mandrel storage rack
