Cold Bend Testing Machine Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : TVT-STE-10607
The Cold Bend Testing Machine is used for bending and re-bending reinforced concrete bars, verifying the ductility of steel reinforcement without fracture, and is supplied complete with a bar puller and tool kit set.
How It Works
The specimen bar is clamped between the machine's table and a screw adjustment device, and a hydraulic ram bends the bar around a former to a set angle; the same rig can then re-bend the specimen back through a smaller angle to check for cracking, simulating the bend/re-bend behaviour reinforcement undergoes on site. The machine's transmission parts, rack and table are enclosed within protective guarding for operator safety during testing.

Applications
The bend and re-bend test verifies the ductility and workability of reinforcing steel bars, governed by ASTM E290: Standard Test Methods for Bend Testing of Material for Ductility and IS 1599: Method for Bend Test, applied to reinforcement bars meeting IS 1786 and ASTM A615/A615M requirements. Passing the bend/re-bend test without visible cracking confirms that a batch of reinforcement bars has the ductility needed for on-site bending during construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the re-bend test check for?
After the initial bend, the specimen is bent back through a smaller angle to check that the steel does not crack, confirming adequate ductility for on-site bending during construction.
What diameter range of rebar can this machine test?
It tests specimen diameters from 6 mm to 40 mm.
Which standards govern the bend/re-bend test?
ASTM E290 and IS 1599 govern the bend test method, applied to reinforcement bars meeting IS 1786 and ASTM A615/A615M requirements.
