ASTM D790-15

1.1 These test methods are used to determine the flexural properties of unreinforced and reinforced plastics, including highmodulus composites and electrical insulating materials utilizing a three-point loading system to apply a load to simply supported beam (specimen). The method is generally applicable to both rigid and semi-rigid materials, but flexural strength cannot be determined for those materials that do not break or that do not fail yield in the outer surface of the test specimen within the 5.0 % strain limit.
