Cold Bend Test Apparatus MLT-1

Product information:
This test conforms to the standard requirements of IEC540. It is used for cold bend test of the circular insulation wire core whose diameter is small and the sector-shaped insulation wire core which cannot be used for dumbbell. The apparatus shall be held in a refrigerator before and during the test.
The diameter of the mandrel shall be between 4 and 5 times the diameter of the test piece (see below).
The mandrel shall be uniformly rotated at a rate of one revolution in about 5 s and the number of turns shall be as specified in the following table.
