How can we get the exact amount of K-Factor in different metals in the sheet metal section?

Hello and do not be bored to everyone
In the sheet metal section to get the Bend Allowance, I know the formula and how to get it, but I do not know exactly how to get the exact amount of K-Factor in different metals.

This is usually done by making test bends on your Brake press machine because each machine and material are unique so after using different materials and thickness and angles will you be able to build up a data bank for your machine.
All machines, material and thickness are different even though they meet a Norm. ie DIN ISO.
