Advanced technical ceramics - Monolithic ceramics - Mechanical properties at room temperature - Part 1: Determination of flexural strength EN 843-1:1995

Publication date:   Jan 30, 2004

Scope

This part of EN 843 describes methods for determining the nominal flexural strength of advanced monolithic technical ceramic materials at ambient temperature. The available loading geometries are three- and four-point flexure,using rectangular section test-pieces of two prescribed geometries: 20 mm support span (A) and 40 mm support span (B). The test prescribes four categoriesof surface finish applied to the test-pieces.
