Flexural Test Measurements for Plastics and Polymers

Intertek labs provide flexural tests for plastics and polymers. Flexural strength, flexural stress at specified strain levels, and flexural modulus are calculated by the laboratory. The information gained provides the flexural properties of plastic and composite materials.

Flexural Testing capabilities include:

ASTM D790
ASTM 1693
ISO 178

Flexure strength (modulus of rupture) measures the maximum bending stress applied to a sample material beam at failure-point. Flexural testing provides key information needed for research, design and specification requirements of polymeric materials that will be subject to weight support or experience bending during normal usage.
