Flexural & Bend Testing Systems for Metal Testing

A bend test asks a simple question and gives a visible answer: will the material take the deformation without cracking. It is how welds, rebar, tube and sheet are qualified, and the result is read on the outer surface rather than off a curve. NextGen supplies bend and flexural systems for that work, to ASTM E290 and ISO 7438.

The system covers guided bend, three-point and four-point flexure, with rollers and formers sized to the specimen, and the loading speed is set and held so results stay comparable between operators and shifts. Machines are installed and calibrated on site, your team is trained on fixture setup, and support continues for the life of the equipment.
