Sets out methods for single and reverse bend testing of coated and uncoated metal sheet, strip and plate.

This standard sets out methods for single and reverse bend testing of coated and uncoated metal sheet, strip and plate.NOTES:1. Criter ia for assessment of the result are not included; such requirements are within the province of the product standard, or determined by agreement between the purchaser and the supplier.2. Where angles of bend of test pieces are specified in product standards, they are considered to be minimum angles. However, where radii of bends of mandrels or formers are specified, they are considered to be maximum radii.
