TestResources Test Systems, Testers and Testing Machines perform bend or flexural tests when equipped with the correct accessories.

Flexure tests monitor behavior of materials in simple beam loading; or transverse beam tests. Specimens are supported as a simple beam, with the compressive load applied at midpoint, and maximum fiber stress and strain calculated. The three point bending flexural test measures bend or fracture strength, modulus of rupture, yield strength, modulus of elasticity in bending, flexural stress, flexural strain, flexural stress strain materials response. Flexural strength represents the highest stress experienced within the material at its moment of rupture.

There are many standard test methods: ASTM D-797 (elastomers), ASTM A-438 (cast iron) ASTM D-86 (glass), ASTM C-674 (fired whiteware), (ASTM A-360, steel products), device screw service c1499 background sandwich synergy 4-point bending test machine spinal d790 aluminum tensile samples bars deflection elasticity transverse ultralight d6272 double crush automatic tension 4-point bending test fixture deflectometer elastic benchtop din equipment spine short automate dental advantages electro cycling systems specimens tool c393 bones stretch bending services specimen coatings testin thickness 4-point bend test fixture tester products testers fatigue equipment jig system product apparatus roller rollers jigs rigs span actuator systems frame instrument ents fixtures stand rig e190 durability analysis d1388 strenght thin setup torsion adjustable compresion tensio specification component 4-point bending testers articulating 4-point bend test machine 4-point bend testers electromechanical elongation biaxial servohydraulic catalogue standard catheter astm adhesion servocontrol curve baldwin application 4-point bend testing jig circle sale accessory cracks apparatus 4-point bend testing machines axial 4-point bend tester 4-point bend test equipment universal simple table-top compression stem cold e111 cantilever system concentric ring cycle submersible stress tube coax composites cylinder dies sheet screws cement testers 4-pt 4-point bend testing jigs 4-point bending tester 4-point bend testing fixture tester products testers fatigue equipment jig system product apparatus roller rollers jigs rigs span actuator systems frame instrument ents fixtures stand rig ansi structural extensometer welds (ASTM E-190), fiberboard (ASTM D-1037), and ASTM D-790 (ISO 178).

ASTM D790 determines flexural properties of plastics, high modulus composites and insulating materials. Materials that do not fail by the maximum strain allowed are tested in a 4-point bend test, such as ASTM D6272.

Test parameters to configure a test system include load, speed of loading, test method type, support span, sample geometry, and maximum deflection of the test. Test sample thicknesses and types affect equipment requirements.
