ASTM C1161 Standard Test for Flexural Strength of Advanced Ceramics

Four-point - 1/4-point and three-point loadings with prescribed spacing are standard, as shown in Figure 1. Rectangular specimens with prescribed cross-section dimensions, with specified characteristics, are used in prescribed specimen-fixture combinations. Test specimens can be 40 by 3 by 4 to 45 mm, tested in four-point or three-point fixtures with 50 mm outer openings.

Alternatively, test specimens and fixture aperture that are half or twice these dimensions can be used. The method allows testing of machined or fired test specimens. Various options for machining preparation are included: application compatible machining, conventional procedure or a specific standard procedure.

This method apparatus describes sample requirements, testing procedure, calculations, and reporting requirements. The test method can be applied to monolithic or particle- or bristle-reinforced ceramics. It can also be used for eyeglasses. It cannot be applied to continuous fiber reinforced ceramic composites.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. Values ​​in parentheses are for informational purposes only.

This standard does not purport to address all safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
