Bend Test Equipment
Product Code : LSK-SWES-10699
Bend Test Equipment (SKU LSK-SWES-10699) is a hydraulic machine that bends welded test specimens through 180 degrees in a single step, so the weld can be checked for cracks and lack of fusion. Welding training centres, polytechnics and engineering college labs use it to assess trainee welds. Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India to institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
A two-way hydraulic cylinder loads, unloads and withdraws quickly, then side loads form an interference bend that removes remaining deformation and completes the 180 degree bend. One operator runs the test with push buttons, and a dust-resistant unit shields the ball screw from oxide scale.

Applications and Experiments for the Bend Test Equipment
The machine is used for guided bend tests on welded coupons: after bending, the outer surface of the weld is examined for cracks, porosity and incomplete fusion. It suits welder training and qualification practice in ITIs and TVET centres, and materials and welding labs in diploma and B.Tech programmes.
- ITI Welder trade: testing root and face bends of practice butt welds.
- TVET welding and fabrication: checking trainee welds before assessment.
- Diploma and B.Tech materials labs: studying ductility and weld soundness.
Specimens bend into the sealed test table, which keeps the operator away from the moving parts. Trainees should still keep hands clear during the stroke, wear eye protection and use the waste cart to remove tested pieces.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Bend Test Equipment is supplied with its waste collecting cart, as described above; any optional accessories are listed on the quotation. Specimen dimensions and any interchangeable formers depend on your test procedure, so state them in your enquiry.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Bend testers are usually ordered one per welding centre, but a quotation can be prepared for any number. The Science Lab Supplies quotation states packing, delivery time and price, and other TVET workshop equipment from this range can be added to it.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh and Zambia. Enquire via the contact page or enquiry cart; see also the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a bend test show?
Bending a welded strip through 180 degrees stretches the weld surface. Cracks, porosity or lack of fusion open up and can be seen, which shows whether the welding technique is sound.
How many people are needed to run it?
One operator. Tests are run with push buttons, and the hydraulic cylinder handles loading, unloading and withdrawal.
Who supplies the Bend Test Equipment?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India to ITIs, TVET centres, polytechnics, engineering colleges, contractors and distributors.
What specimen size and capacity does it handle?
The specification does not list them. Send your specimen width, thickness and test procedure through the contact page, and the quotation will confirm the capacity offered.
