The Elcometer 1500 is a simple instrument for determining the elasticity, adhesion and cracking of dry paint on flat specimens, consisting of a mandrel support which also serves as a test stand.
Coated metal sheets, maximum 150mm (5.9") in length x 100mm (3.93") wide, are manually and successively bent around mandrels of decreasing diameter until cracks appear.
