Three Point Flexural Modulus Tester for Plastics

Bench-top flexural tester using three-point loading to measure flexural strength and modulus of rigid plastics. Used for moulding material grading and for plastics compound development in factory labs.

Specification

A rectangular bar on two supports is loaded at its centre at constant rate until yield or 5 percent strain, and flexural modulus and strength are computed from the deflection. Adjustable span suits bars of different thickness. A smaller load frame makes it economical for plastics labs that do not require tensile testing.

Features

• Load cell 5 kN with digital deflection sensor
• Adjustable span 16:1 ratio
• Speed 1 - 50 mm/min
• Roller support rings
• Software calculating modulus
