Comprehensive Guide to ASTM D522 Mandrel Bend Test Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ASTM D522 Mandrel Bend Test is a widely accepted laboratory testing service that evaluates the flexibility and resistance of plastic film and sheeting materials. The test is governed by international and national standards, including ASTM, ISO, EN, TSE, and others.

Overview of Relevant Standards

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is one of the leading standard development organizations in the world. ASTM D522 Mandrel Bend Test is a standardized method for testing the flexibility of plastic film and sheeting materials. The test is based on the principle that when a material is subjected to bending, it will exhibit a specific degree of deformation.

International Standards

  • ISO 10145-1:2010 (Plastics Determination of stiffness, flexural rigidity and bending modulus Part 1: Bending tests)
  • EN 14243:2006 (Plastics Determination of the flexibility and resistance to bending of plastic films)
  • TSE 1243:2014 (Turkey) (Determination of the flexibility and resistance to bending of plastic films)
  • National Standards

  • ASTM D522-14 (Standard Test Methods for Flexibility of Plastic Sheeting)
  • ASTM D1204-12 (Standard Test Method for Water Resistance of Coatings Using a Water Fog Apparatus)
  • Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations play a crucial role in creating and updating standards. These organizations work with stakeholders from various industries to develop and maintain standards that meet the needs of the market.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies emerge, and industry requirements change. Standard development organizations regularly review and update existing standards to ensure they remain relevant and effective.
