Automatic Flexural Testing Machine
Automatic Flexural Testing Machine
The Automatic Flexural Testing Machine is designed to perform accurate and repeatable bending strength tests on concrete beams, paving blocks, kerbs, and other construction materials.
Equipped with a rigid load frame, hydraulic power pack, and advanced control system, the machine applies load at a controlled rate and records precise failure points. It supports both 3-point and 4-point testing configurations and complies with international standards such as EN 12390-5, ASTM C78, and BS 1881.
Depending on the brand and model, features may include:
Fully automatic test sequences
High-resolution digital control panels or touchscreen interfaces
USB or PC connectivity for data export
Safety enclosures or transparent doors for operator protection
A critical tool in quality control, the flexural testing machine ensures reliable results in structural material evaluation.
Below is a detailed comparison of flexural testing machines from three leading manufacturers, helping you find the perfect match for your lab’s capacity and testing requirements.
