Flexural Test Machine
A flexure testing machine (also known as a flexural testing machine or bend testing machine) is a specialized piece of equipment used to evaluate the flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, and other mechanical properties of materials under bending loads. It applies controlled force to a specimen (typically a beam or bar) supported at two points while loading it at one or more points, simulating real-world bending stresses. These machines are commonly used in materials science, civil engineering, and quality control for testing concrete, metals, plastics, composites, wood, and ceramics.
Standard Following
- IS 516
- ASTM C78
- EN 12390-5
- BS 1881 and
- ISO 679.
Key Components Include
- A rigid frame with hydraulic or electromechanical loading system.
- Load cells for precise force measurement (often Class 1 accuracy from 2% of capacity).
- Fixtures for 3-point or 4-point bending configurations.
- Digital controls for automated testing cycles, data logging, and reporting.
- For 150 mm x 150 mm x 700 mm beam, the center distance between the rollers is 600 mm, while it is 400 mm for beams of size 100 mm x 100 mm x 500 mm.
- The upper platen has also a pair of rollers whose distance is adjustable.
- It is 200 mm center to center, for 150 mm x 150 mm x 700 mm size beam and 133 mm for 100 mm x 100 mm x 500 mm size beam.
- Total capacity of the machine is 100 kn.
