Ductility is a ability of a material to plastically deform without failure or fracture. In most applications higher ductility in a material is sought. 

Ductility test or bend test is very common test for welded joints, piping products and reinforcing (reo bars) materials. 

LMATS Melbourne & Sydney laboratories performs test in accordance with the following common standards - AS 2505, AS 1855, AS 2205, ASME IX QW 160, EN 288.4, DIN EN 910, AS 4671, API 5L, AS 1397, AS 1163, AS 1074, ASTM A450 and similar other national and international standards.
