Determining the flexural properties of rigid and
semi-rigid materials
such as glass, ceramics, composites, wood and rigid plastics, etc...in
the form of rectangular bars of standard or non-standard dimensions,
moulded directly or cut from sheets or other shapes. The following
properties can be determined:
• Flexural Stress at a given time of test
• Flexural Stress at the conventional deflection
(Flexural Stress at deflection X a preset figure
determined by the standard used)
• Flexural Stress at Maximum Load
• Flexural Stress at Rupture
Apparent Modulus of Elasticity in Flexure
(modulus of elasticity determined by flexure test)
