Ideally suited for determining a coating’s resistance to cracking and detachment from a substrate
• Conforms to ASTM D 522, BS3900 E11 and ISO 6860
• Heavy construction for ease of use and durability
A coated test panel is bent around a conically shaped metal bar to indicate elasticity and adhesive properties. Graduated clamping bar shows mandrel diameter at failure with test panel thickness. Percent elongation is made by adding diameter at failure with test panel thickness. Panel Specifications: up to 0.8 mm thick (metal panel); 18 x 10 cm (L x W). Instrument specifications: steel mandrel: 203 mm x 38 tapered to 3 mm; weight: 8.2 lbs. (3.72 kg); dimensions: 290 x 160 x 300 mm.
