- Graduated tube with engraved markings:
The tube has clearly engraved, graduated markings
in both kg-cm and lb-inch to ensure accuracy.
- Stop collar with adjustable settings:
Ten settings between 2mm and 15mm (0.08 and
0.60”) to change the depth of impact when working in
accordance with ISO Standards.
- Integrated bubble level:
Ensuring that the tester is perpendicular for accurate
results.
- Easy fix sample clamp:
The test sample can be secured or released by a
simple twist of the clamp handle.
- Comprehensive range of test kits:
Six different test kits are available containing all the
items required to test in accordance with specified
Standards.

Elasticity &Resistance
Deformation
Elasticity and resistance to
deformation are part of the
key physical properties
required in the coatings
industry today. Essentially
there are three different test
methods which are used to
determine a coating’s
performance under different
deformation conditions.
Bend Test
A coated metal sheet is bent
over a cylindrical or conical
mandrel and the coating
observed for cracks and
discolouration.
Impact Test
A coated metal sheet is
placed beneath a falling
weight and the resultant
damage caused by the
deformation is observed. The
impact test method is used to
identify how the coating
performs under a rapid
deformation process.
Cupping Test
A coated metal sheet is
subjected to a gradual
deformation by a polished
die. This deformation is
caused by the die being
pushed from beneath the
coating – i.e. from the
reverse side of the sheet.
The end-point is when the
coating begins to crack. |
