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 sends the bend tester from Ambala, India to institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Each technical detail of the machine is listed in the table below. In short, a two-way hydraulic cylinder loads, unloads and withdraws quickly, side loads then form an interference bend that completes the 180 degree bend, one operator runs it with push buttons and a dust-resistant unit shields the ball screw.

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 made from strips cut on the Manual Hand Shear.
- 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 Grinding Goggles or other 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 and the quotation will reflect them.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can be prepared for one bend tester per welding centre or for several sites. The Science Lab Supplies quotation states packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, 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. Welding training centres can enquire about the bend tester on the contact page or through the enquiry cart, with the lab tender page available for tender purchases.
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 two-way hydraulic cylinder handles loading, unloading and withdrawal, while tested pieces drop into the waste collecting cart.
Who supplies the Bend Test Equipment?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India to ITIs, TVET centres, polytechnics, engineering colleges, contractors and distributors, with each quotation prepared for your site.
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.
