Elasticity & Deformation Elcometer 1506-B Cylindrical Mandrel Bend Tester The Elcometer 1506-B Cylindrical Mandrel Bend 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 height-adjustable rollers and a sliding vice for clamping the sample which means the test pieces are bent perfectly and regularly on decreasing mandrels until the desired effect can be observed. The instrument can be adjusted to the diameter of the mandrel used as the mandrels are easily changed. A wide range of Metric and Imperial mandrels are available. Mandrel sets or individual mandrels should be ordered separately - please see accessories below.
