Flexural Testing
Flexural testing is a common materials test. It involves a very wide range of forces and has broad applications in multiple industries. Typical specimens are flat, rectangular bars with defined geometries. Examples include metals, composites, rock, concrete and plastics. Specimens are supported on each end while a load is applied to its middle. These tests generate important data about flexural strength, performance, durability and service life.
MTS has more than 40 years of experience in material testing, and brings unmatched expertise in flexural test applications. We provide a wide variety of load frames, as well as standard and custom bend fixtures to accommodate specimen geometries. Our complete solutions also include digital controllers and user-friendly software. Specific offerings for flex/bend testing include:
• Tabletop and floor-standing electromechanical load frames for a range of force
requirements
• Highly stiff, ergonomic and easy-to-maintain servohydraulic load frames
• Digital controllers with high channel density, high capacity and superior configurability
• Powerful yet easy-to-use software that streamline test design and modification
• Bend fixtures in three-point or four-point configurations
