Elcometer 1510 Conical Mandrel Bend Tester

The particularly robust and rigid construction of the Elcometer conical mandrel tester is used in the determination of elasticity, adhesion and elongation of paint on sheet metal. 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.

Elcometer 1500 Cylindrical Mandrels

A simple instrument for determining the elasticity, adhesion and cracking of dry paint on flat specimens, consisting of a mandrel support which also serves as a test stand. Painted metal sheets, are manually bent around mandrels of decreasing diameter until cracks appear.

Elcometer 1506 Cylindrical Mandrel Bend Tester

This cylindical mandrel bend tester consists of a robust frame which has a bending lever, with height adjustable rollers and a sliding vice for the sample. Thanks to its design, the instrument can be adapted to the diameter of the mandrel used are bent perfectly and regularly over the mandrels

Elcometer 1620 Cupping Tester

Used for assessing the cupping ability of coatings applied to metal sheets up to 1.2mm (0.05") thick, the Elcometer cupping tester is available with either an analogue or a digital gauge, manual or electric. Models are supplied with an illuminated magnifier to accurately view the deformation's results.

Elcometer 1615 Variable Impact Testers

Used for evaluating the resistance of a coating to impact (elongation, cracking or peeling). A weight with hemispherical ends falls on the coated side or reverse of a sheet metal specimen fixed onto a corresponding die. The impact testers can be supplied with accessory kits to allow tests to be in accordance with ASTM D 2794 and NF T30 017.
