Standards: EN ISO 15630-1, 7438, EN 10080

50 kN capacity Cold Test Bending Machine is used for bending and re-bending tests of  reinforcing bars, wire rod and wire for concrete in accordance with the requirements of EN ISO 15630-1.

The test piece is bent over a mandrel. The angle of bend and the diameter of the mandrel (D) is selected in accordance with the relevant product standard EN 10080.

The Bending test is performed with a minimum angle of bend of 180° over a mandrel according to EN ISO 15630-1.

For Re-Bending test, first the test piece is bend with a minimum angle of bend of 90° over a mandrel, in a second step, the aging treatment is applied and then the test pieces bent back up to a minimum of 20° according to EN ISO 15630-1.

After the test, test pieces are inspected for cracks and fissures visible to a person with normal or corrected vision.
