Flexural Strength

Flexural Strength in ceramic materials is usually measured by breaking test bars or rods in 3 or 4 point bending on a universal testing machine.

The picture to the left shows a bar of Technox® 2000 (300 x 12 x 4mm) being tested and which is deflecting 4.5mm at its centre. Yet another example of the ultra high strength of Technox® ceramics.
