Methods of testing plastics. Glass reinforced plastics. Determination of flexural properties. Three point method | Status: Confirmed, Current

1 Scope This European Standard describes a method for the determination of flexural properties of textile glass reinforced plastics in the form of rectangular bars of standard or non-standard dimensions, moulded directly or cut from sheets or other moulded shapes. It only applies to simple, freely supported beams, loaded at mid-span (three point loading test)1). The following properties may be determined using the method described: 1.1 The flexural stress and the deflection at break of materials that break before, or at, the conventional deflection.
