Conical Mandrel Tester

Conical Mandrel

• The Tester is a mechanical tester used to determine the effects of bending on the elasticity, adhesion and elongation properties of cured coatings on sheet metal. The frame has a bending lever with
• a roller 200 mm length which pivots on a steel conical mandrel with a diameter from 4 – 38 mm.
• A graduation indicates the mandrel diameter in both mm and inches.
• The specimen can be bent on part of, or along, the entire length of the mandrel, and the results (cracks) corresponding to different test diameters can be observed in a single operation.
• This is ideal for use in conjunction with the cylindrical mandrel, as it identifies the stop point for more
