FAQs of Cylindrical Mandrel Bend Tester:
Q: How does the Cylindrical Mandrel Bend Tester evaluate coating flexibility?
A: The tester assesses the flexibility of coatings by bending coated steel panels over mandrels of varying diameters (2 mm to 32 mm), observing coating cracks or adhesion failure as per ASTM D522 and ISO 1519 standards.
Q: What is the process for conducting a test using this equipment?
A: To conduct the test, place the sample panel in the holder, select the appropriate mandrel size, and manually rotate the lever to bend the panel over the mandrel. Inspect for cracks or detachment using visual methods, following standard procedures outlined in the supplied manual.
Q: Where can this tester be used?
A: The Cylindrical Mandrel Bend Tester is suitable for laboratories, manufacturing floors, quality control departments, and research centers involved in coatings and paint evaluation. Its portable, bench-top configuration enables flexible deployment at various locations.
Q: What are the benefits of using a manual lever-driven tester with multiple mandrels?
A: Manual operation provides precise control during testing, while the set of 14 mandrels facilitates compliance with global standards and analysis over a wide range of coating flexibility requirements. No electrical supply is needed, simplifying maintenance and setup.
Q: When should the tester be used during paint and coating evaluation?
A: This tester is most effective during routine quality control, product development, or when certifying products for standard compliance. It can be used whenever coating adhesion and flexibility validation are required on coated steel substrates.
Q: What materials are compatible with this bend tester?
A: The device is designed for coated steel test panels, making it ideal for assessing paint and coating applications on ferrous substrates as per standard requirements.
Q: How do the corrosion-resistant finishes enhance operational longevity?
A: Powder-coated or chrome-plated frames, coupled with stainless steel and plated mild steel rods, ensure the tester withstands regular laboratory use without degradation, offering reliable performance and extended service life.
