Bending pressures for other materials :

10 Stainless Steel - 160% of M.S.
Soft brass - 50%bof M.S.
12 Soft aluminum - 50% of M.S.
15 Heat treated Al. Alloys-ssame as M.S.

For M.S. plates

S<12, min.V = 8xs
S<12,min. V = 10xs

For material thickness to 12mm use v-opening of 8 times material thickness

For material thickness greater than 12 mm, use v-opening of 10 times material thickness
