test steps
Remark
Test results are strongly dependent on the selected test panel, coating thickness, drying conditions and environmental conditions (see ASTM D522)
Note any deviations in reproducible test results.
1. Open the device fully and insert the mandrel to the correct diameter. Turn the handle of the pressure roller counterclockwise.
2. Place and fix the test board in the device close to the mandrel. Hold it upright in the clamp. Once bent, the coated side of the panel should face outward.
3. Pull the handle, the movement is smooth, it takes 1-2 seconds to bend 180°.
4. Release the test panel from the test equipment and check the results immediately.
