The conical shape of the bending area allows the deformation of the test panel and examination of the elasticity range of a coating over any diameter between 3.1 and 38 mm in one single test. The sample panel is secured by means of two clamping knobs which has to be tightened and untightened by turning respectively clockwise or anti-clockwise.
