Flexural Testing
This physical testing method can be used to ensure product specifications, as a means of quality control, and can be used in material development.

Flexural test methods determine the flexural properties of unreinforced and reinforced plastics and rubbery materials. Flex testing is a mechanical testing system (MTS) method.
Flexural test methods utilize either a three-point or a four-point loading system applied to a supported beam.
Flexural properties, as determined by these test methods, are especially useful for quality control and specification purposes. Other purposes include:
ASTM Methods:
Typical samples are 7-15cm long.
The width or thickness of a sample can vary based on the material.
Flexural test methods are generally applicable to both rigid and semi rigid materials.
Standard specimens or molded products can be tested.
