ISO 7438 is a standard that specifies a method for determining the ability of metallic materials to undergo plastic deformation in bending123. It is used to evaluate the flexural strength and stiffness of a material , The bend test shall be carried out in testing machines equipped with a bending device with two supports and a former; bending device with a V-block and a former; bending device with a clamp. Give our test engineers a call today for help configuring the best test machine and accessories according to your standard.
