1、Designation: D790 10Standard Test Methods forFlexural Properties of Unreinforced and Reinforced Plasticsand Electrical Insulating Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D790; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the cas

2、e of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 These tes

3、t methods cover the determination of flexuralproperties of unreinforced and reinforced plastics, includinghigh-modulus composites and electrical insulating materials inthe form of rectangular bars molded directly or cut from sheets,plates, or molded shapes. These test methods are generallyapplicable

4、 to both rigid and semirigid materials. However,flexural strength cannot be determined for those materials thatdo not break or that do not fail in the outer surface of the testspecimen within the 5.0 % strain limit of these test methods.These test methods utilize a three-point loading system applied

5、to a simply supported beam. A four-point loading systemmethod can be found in Test Method D6272.1.1.1 Procedure A, designed principally for materials thatbreak at comparatively small deflections.1.1.2 Procedure B, designed particularly for those materialsthat undergo large deflections during testing

6、.1.1.3 Procedure A shall be used for measurement of flexuralproperties, particularly flexural modulus, unless the materialspecification states otherwise. Procedure B may be used formeasurement of flexural strength only. Tangent modulus dataobtained by Procedure A tends to exhibit lower standarddevia

7、tions than comparable data obtained by means of Proce-dure B.1.2 Comparative tests may be run in accordance with eitherprocedure, provided that the procedure is found satisfactory forthe material being tested.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.

17、ocedure A employs a strain rate of 0.01 mm/mm/min(0.01 in./in./min) and is the preferred procedure for this testmethod, while Procedure B employs a strain rate of 0.10mm/mm/min (0.10 in./in./min).5. Significance and Use5.1 Flexural properties as determined by these test methodsare especially useful

18、for quality control and specificationpurposes.5.2 Materials that do not fail by the maximum strainallowed under these test methods (3-point bend) may be moresuited to a 4-point bend test. The basic difference between thetwo test methods is in the location of the maximum bendingmoment and maximum axi

19、al fiber stresses. The maximum axialfiber stresses occur on a line under the loading nose in 3-pointbending and over the area between the loading noses in 4-pointbending.5.3 Flexural properties may vary with specimen depth,temperature, atmospheric conditions, and the difference in rateof straining a

Any test specimen preparation, conditioning,dimensions, or testing parameters, or combination thereof,covered in the ASTM m

21、aterial specification shall take prece-dence over those mentioned in these test methods. Table 1 inClassification System D4000 lists the ASTM material specifi-cations that currently exist for plastics.6.

It shall be equipped with a deflectionmeasuring device. The stiffness of the testing machine shall besuch that the total elasti

23、c deformation of the system does notexceed 1 % of the total deflection of the test specimen duringtesting, or appropriate corrections shall be made. The loadindicating mechanism shall be essentially free from inertial lagat the crosshead rate used. The accuracy of the testing machineshall be verifie

24、d in accordance with Practices E4.6.2 Loading Noses and SupportsThe loading nose andsupports shall have cylindrical surfaces. The default radii of theloading nose and supports shall be 5.0 6 0.1 mm (0.197 60.004 in.) unless otherwise specified in an ASTM materialspecification or as agreed upon betwe

25、en the interested parties.When the use of an ASTM material specification, or an agreedupon modification, results in a change to the radii of theloading nose and supports, the results shall be clearly identifiedas being obtained from a modified version of this test methodand shall include the specifi

26、cation (when available) from whichthe modification was specified, for example, Test Method D790in accordance with Specification D4101.6.2.1 Other Radii for Loading Noses and SupportsWhenother than default loading noses and supports are used, in orderto avoid excessive indentation, or failure due to

27、stress concen-tration directly under the loading nose, they must comply withthe following requirements: they shall have a minimum radiusof 3.2 mm (18 in.) for all specimens. For specimens 3.2 mm orgreater in depth, the radius of the supports may be up to 1.6times the specimen depth. They shall be th

28、is large if significantindentation or compressive failure occurs. The arc of theloading nose in contact with the specimen shall be sufficientlylarge to prevent contact of the specimen with the sides of thenose. The maximum radius of the loading nose shall be nomore than four times the specimen depth

29、.6.3 Micrometers Suitable micrometers for measuring thewidth and thickness of the test specimen to an incrementaldiscrimination of at least 0.025 mm (0.001 in.) should be used.All width and thickness measurements of rigid and semirigidplastics may be measured with a hand micrometer with ratchet.A su

30、itable instrument for measuring the thickness of nonrigidtest specimens shall have: a contact measuring pressure of25 6 2.5 kPa (3.6 6 0.36 psi), a movable circular contact foot6.35 6 0.025 mm (0.250 6 0.001 in.) in diameter and a lowerfixed anvil large enough to extend beyond the contact foot inall

31、 directions and being parallel to the contact foot within 0.005mm (0.002 in.) over the entire foot area. Flatness of foot andanvil shall conform to the portion of the Calibration section ofTest Methods D5947.7. Test Specimens7.1 The specimens may be cut from sheets, plates, ormolded shapes, or may b

32、e molded to the desired finisheddimensions. The actual dimensions used in Section 4.2, Cal-culation, shall be measured in accordance with Test MethodsD5947.NOTE 2Any necessary polishing of specimens shall be done only inthe lengthwise direction of the specimen.7.2 Sheet Materials (Except Laminated T

37、 depth of the specimen shall be thethickness of the material. For edgewise tests, the width of thespecimen shall be the thickness of the sheet, and the depth shallnot exceed the width (see Notes 3 and 4). For all tests, thesupport span shall be 16 (tolerance 61) times the depth of thebeam. Specimen

38、width shall not exceed one fourth of thesupport span for specimens greater than 3.2 mm (18 in.) indepth. Specimens 3.2 mm or less in depth shall be 12.7 mm (12in.) in width. The specimen shall be long enough to allow foroverhanging on each end of at least 10 % of the support span,but in no case less

39、 than 6.4 mm (14 in.) on each end. Overhangshall be sufficient to prevent the specimen from slippingthrough the supports.NOTE 3Whenever possible, the original surface of the sheet shall beunaltered. However, where testing machine limitations make it impossibleto follow the above criterion on the una

40、ltered sheet, one or both surfacesshall be machined to provide the desired dimensions, and the location ofthe specimens with reference to the total depth shall be noted. The valueobtained on specimens with machined surfaces may differ from thoseobtained on specimens with original surfaces. Consequen

41、tly, any specifi-cations for flexural properties on thicker sheets must state whether theoriginal surfaces are to be retained or not. When only one surface wasmachined, it must be stated whether the machined surface was on thetension or compression side of the beam.NOTE 4Edgewise tests are not appli

42、cable for sheets that are so thinthat specimens meeting these requirements cannot be cut. If specimendepth exceeds the width, buckling may occur.7.2.2 Materials Less than 1.6 mm (116 in.) in ThicknessThe specimen shall be 50.8 mm (2 in.) long by 12.7 mm (12 in.)wide, tested flatwise on a 25.4-mm (1-

43、in.) support span.NOTE 5Use of the formulas for simple beams cited in these testmethods for calculating results presumes that beam width is small incomparison with the support span. Therefore, the formulas do not applyrigorously to these dimensions.NOTE 6Where machine sensitivity is such that specim

44、ens of thesedimensions cannot be measured, wider specimens or shorter supportspans, or both, may be used, provided the support span-to-depth ratio is atleast 14 to 1.All dimensions must be stated in the report (see also Note 5).7.3 Laminated Thermosetting Materials and Sheet andPlate Materials Used

45、for Electrical Insulation, IncludingVulcanized Fiber and Glass-Bonded MicaFor paper-baseand fabric-base grades over 25.4 mm (1 in.) in nominalthickness, the specimens shall be machined on both surfaces toa depth of 25.4 mm. For glass-base and nylon-base grades,specimens over 12.7 mm (12 in.) in nomi

46、nal depth shall bemachined on both surfaces to a depth of 12.7 mm. The supportspan-to-depth ratio shall be chosen such that failures occur inthe outer fibers of the specimens, due only to the bendingmoment (see Note 7). Therefore, a ratio larger than 16:1 maybe necessary (32:1 or 40:1 are recommende

47、d). When laminatedmaterials exhibit low compressive strength perpendicular to thelaminations, they shall be loaded with a large radius loadingnose (up to four times the specimen depth to prevent prematuredamage to the outer fibers.7.4 Molding Materials (Thermoplastics and Thermosets)The recommended

48、specimen for molding materials is 127 by12.7 by 3.2 mm (5 by12 by18 in.) tested flatwise on a supportspan, resulting in a support span-to-depth ratio of 16 (tolerance61). Thicker specimens should be avoided if they exhibitsignificant shrink marks or bubbles when molded.7.5 High-Strength Reinforced C

49、omposites, Including HighlyOrthotropic LaminatesThe span-to-depth ratio shall be cho-sen such that failure occurs in the outer fibers of the specimensand is due only to the bending moment (see Note 7). Aspan-to-depth ratio larger than 16:1 may be necessary (32:1 or40:1 are recommended). For some highly anisotropic compos-ites, shear deformation can significantly influence modulusmeasurements, even at span-to-depth ratios as high as 40:1.Hence, for these materials, an increase in the span-to-depthratio to 60:1 is recommended to eliminate shear effec
