ASTM D7264 / D7264M-15Standard Test Method for Flexural Properties of Polymer Matrix Composite Materials
ASTM D7264 is a test method used to determine the flexural stiffness and strength properties of polymer matrix composites. The test method summarises two procedures:
Procedure A—A three-point loading system utilizing center loading on a simply supported beam.
Procedure B—A four-point loading system utilizing two load points equally spaced from their adjacent support points, with a distance between load points of one-half of the support span.
Before conducting ASTM D7264, it is important to read the entire specification. Standards can be obtained from appropriate standard authorities.
