Beam Flexural Testing for Reliable Strength and Stiffness Analysis

When it comes to evaluating the bending performance of structural materials, beam flexural testing is a critical method for assessing strength, stiffness, and durability.
Our beam flexural testing services are ideal for analysing materials such as plastics, polymers, composites, and other structural components, all in compliance with standards like
BS EN 14651:2005+AI:2007 and BS EN 14488-3:2006.
Whether you're developing products for construction, transportation, or consumer applications, our testing ensures your materials can withstand bending forces without cracking, warping, or failing.

How Beam Flexural Testing Works

In beam flexural testing, a sample—typically shaped like a rectangular beam—is supported at both ends while a controlled load is applied at the centre or at multiple points.
The test measures how much the material bends and the force required to reach the breaking point.
Key properties such as flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, and strain at break are recorded.
This data gives manufacturers and engineers critical insights into the material’s load-bearing capabilities under flexural stress.
With our state-of-the-art equipment and experienced team, you receive precise, reliable results, quality assurance, and compliance with industry standards.
