Physical Testing


Flex (3 & 4 Point Bend)


Flexural test methods determine the flexural properties of unreinforced and reinforced plastics and rubbery materials. Flexural test methods utilize either a three-point or a four-point loading system applied to a supported beam.

These flexural test methods are generally applicable to both rigid and semi rigid materials. Standard specimens or molded products can be tested.

Applications:



  • Flexural properties as determined by these test methods are especially useful for quality control and specification purposes.
  • Other purposes include product comparison and material development.
  • Flexural tests can also be used to determine mechanical property degradation as a result of product use, accelerated aging, or response to chemical exposure.
