Wrapping Test

The wrapping test is a ductility test which is employed to evaluate the ability of metallic wire to undergo plastic deformation during wrapping. 

The test consists of winding a wire to specified number of turns around a mandrel of specified diameter to form a closely wrapped helix. The equipment comprises aluminium test bed with interchangeable mandrels rotated with AC motor coupled to a touch screen interface. The operator can easily clamp the specimen on the mandrel and subject it to wrapping through speed adjustable rotation forming a close helix.
