This standard specifies an empirical test method for evaluating the resistance of coatings of paints, varnishes or related products to cracking and/or peeling from metal or plastic substrates when bent about a cylindrical axis under standard conditions. For multi-coat systems, each coating can be tested separately or the entire system can be tested. The test can be carried out in the following two ways:
——as a "pass/fail" test, that is, using a shaft of specified diameter to evaluate whether the coating meets specific requirements;
——testing using shafts in sequence to determine whether the coating Maximum shaft diameter at which the layer will crack and/or peel away from the substrate. This standard specifies two types of instruments, Type I and Type II. Type I is suitable for thicknesses not greater than O. 3 mm test plate, Type II is suitable for thickness not greater than 1. O mm test plate. Both instruments give similar results for the same coating, but when testing a given product, it is common to use only one instrument.
