Mandrel/ Deflection Test

We offer mandrel testing for pipes as small as 150mm (6”). Our standard mandrels are set for 5% to 7 % deflection. By pulling the mandrel through the pipe, we verify that deflection stays within acceptable limits. If the mandrel doesn’t pass through, it indicates the area where the pipe needs repair or replacement.
