Each 90° movement of the bent end is counted as one bend.

The test is carried out at a rate of not more than one bend per second.

Methods for checking coating quality and thickness — per GOST 9.302—88.

Material grade 0 (low-carbon steel) and the absence of coating are not indicated in the designation.

Example of a designation for a cotter pin with a nominal diameter of 5 mm, length 28 mm, made of low-carbon steel, without coating:

Cotter pin 5×28 GOST 397-79

Corresponds to DIN 94 and ISO 1234.
