    ISO 178 - Flexural Testing

    Uploaded by

    khuelv
    This document outlines ISO 178, a standard test method for determining the flexural properties of plastics under specific conditions. It describes the flexural strength, modulus, and stress/strain testing of plastic specimens supported as beams and deflected at their midspan. Key steps include specimen preparation, measurement, controlled testing at 2mm/min to failure or predetermined deformation, and calculation of flexural properties including stress, strain, and modulus from the measured values. A test report is required containing specimen details, test conditions, individual results, and mean values.

    ISO 178 - Determination of flexural properties


    1. Scope
    This method determining the flexural properties of rigid and semi-rigid plastics under defined conditions.
    - Flexural strength.
    Flexural behavior - Flexural modulus (tangent, chord & secant modulus)
    (Under specific conditions) - Stress/strain relationship

     Method ASTM D790 ISO 178


    l – specimen length 127 ± 2.0 mm 80 ± 2.0 mm
    b – specimen width 12.7 ± 0.2 mm 10 ± 0.2 mm
    h – specimen thickness 6.4 ± 0.2 mm 4 ± 0.2 mm
    L – distance of spans 64 ± 1 mm 64 ± 1 mm
    Test speed 2 mm/min 2 mm/min
    R1: Radius of Loading edge 5 mm 5 mm
    R2: Radius of Supports 5 mm 5 mm
    2. Method Summary
    The test specimen, supported as a beam, is deflected at a constant rate at the
    midspan until the specimen fractures or until the deformation reaches some
    predetermined value. During this procedure, the force applied to the test
    specimen is measured.

    Flexural Stress (σf) – The maximum stress in the outer surface of the test
    specimen occurs at the midpoint. σf = 3PL/2bd2 Flexural Stress

    Flexural Strength (σfM) – Maximum flexural stress sustained by the test specimen
    during a bending test.

    Flexural Strain (ɛf) – Nominal fractional change in the length of an element of the
    outer surface of the test specimen at midspan, where the maximum strain occurs. σfM
    εf = 6Dd/L2
    δf2
    Flexural Modulus (Ef) – (linear slope at 0.05-0.25% strain) in unit Mpa
    Ef = (σf2 - σf1)/(εf2 - εf1) Flexural Modulus
    δ f1
    Significant & Use
    - For quality control and specification purposes.
    - For engineering design purposes with linear stress/strain behavior.
    - To ensure compliance with international and industry standards. 0.05% 0.25%
