Flexural Properties of Unreinforced/Reinforced Plastic and Electrical Insulating Material by 4-Point Bend (ASTM D6272)
|
ASTM D6272 test method specifies the conditions for determining the flexural properties of unreinforced and reinforced plastics and electrical insulating materials in the form of rectangular bars that are either molded directly or cut from sheets, plates, or molded shapes by four-point bending. For this type of flexure test, we recommend using a 4-Point Flexure fixture where the load is applied by the loading head to the specimen at two points equally distant to the center line. Our 4-Point Flexure fixture has a single loadinghead option for 3-Point Flexure testing, as described by ASTM D790.
An additional accessory that is often required (ASTM D6272 specifies a Class C deflection measuring device) is a deflectometer. This device automatically and continuously records the deflection of the specimen during the test and is more often used for compressive and flexure applications. Deflectometers similar to extensometers, which are used most often for tensile applications.
