This jig opeates in compression only with a single screw span adjustment. Used for performing uni-directional bending tests on rigid and semi-rigid materials. Supplied with 1/4 inch specimen supports.
 

Displacement measurement is achieved by using a high precision LVDT device.

Packaging
Complete jig. LVDT not included.

Applications
Used to determine the flexural properties of rigid and semi-rigid materials including glass, ceramics, composites, wood and plastics. Specimens are formed in rectangular bars of standard or non-standard or non-standard dimensions moulded directly or cut from sheets or other shapes. The following properties may be determined:

5kN @400mm 10kN, 2248 lbf

Flexural Stress at a given time of test Flexural Stress at the conventional deflection (Flexural Stress at deflection X a preset figure determined by the standard used) Flexural Stress at Maximum Load Flexural Stress at Rupture Apparent Modulus of Elasticity in Flexure
