Cold Bend Testing Machine

cold bend testing machineGeneral description and specifications
The machine consist essentially of of hydraulic jack with cylindrical mandrel-stem, mounted horizontally within a strong steel frame which also carries two fixe reaction rollers.

Two 100 mm dia. rollers are supplied; mandrels and mandrel holders must be ordered separately. The type of bending required depends on the diameter of the specimen and on the quality and type of steel, as specified in Table II.

This table also indicates the diameters required for the bending mandrel and rollers, which can easily be changed for different sizes, and for the roller spacing which is adjustable.

Mandrels larger than 96 mm dia. do not need mandrel holders, because they fit directly onto the stem.

Power: 750W
Dimensions: 1500x665x1050 mm
Weight approx.: Net 210 kg

Application
Used for bending and staightening steel reinforcing bars. Two types of test can be performed depending upon size and quality of specimens: 1) Bending the specimen through 90° and than straightening it again; 2) Bending through 180°.

Note:
The specimens marked in red must be bent to 180°, while those marked in blue must be bent to 90° then straightened for minimum 20°.
ASTM specifications require 100 mm dia. rollers only and the straightening test is not required.
