ASTM D790
Applications
ASTM D790 are used for determining the flexural properties of unreinforced and reinforced plastics, including high modulus composites and electrical insulating materials utilizing a three-point loading system to apply a load to a simply supported beam (specimen). ASTM D790 can generally be applied to both rigid and semi-rigid materials.
Technical Details
- Center loading to flex the sample
- Loading nose is attached directly to the top arm of the universal testing machine
- The bottom two supports are adjustable and can accomodate samples of different length.
