EN 10232 Tube (Full Section) Bend Test
EN 10232 is the European bend test method for full-section metallic tubes of circular cross-section. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What EN 10232 Covers
It evaluates the bendability and soundness of a full tube section by bending it around a former, revealing surface and weld defects for tube and pipe acceptance.
How the Test Is Run
A tube length is bent around a former of specified radius to a defined angle, then inspected on the outer surface, including welds, for cracking.
Why It Matters
Full-section bend testing checks tube ductility as used in service; a fixture matched to the tube diameter and correct former radius are essential.
