Model 4 points bending
HOYTOM Bending Fixtures are highly precise devices designed to perform bending tests on a wide range of materials, including metals, polymers, composites, and ceramics. These systems accurately measure flexural strength, stiffness, and specimen deflection under load, in compliance with international standards (ISO, ASTM, EN).
Thanks to their modular design, HOYTOM Bending Fixtures adapt to different test types, including 3-point and 4-point configurations, offering maximum flexibility to meet the specific requirements of each application. Their robustness and precision make them essential tools for laboratories and demanding industries.
4-point bending provides a more uniform load distribution on the specimen, making it a preferred choice to assess deformation resistance over a larger area, measure the stiffness of composite and laminated materials, and simulate real loading conditions for structural applications.
Applications
- Assessment of deformation resistance over an extended area
- Measurement of stiffness of composite and laminated materials
- Simulation of real loading conditions for structural applications (beams, panels)
Advantages
- Uniformly distributed load: Reduced local stress concentrations
- More representative results: Ideal for materials sensitive to localized stresses
- Standards compliance: Results aligned with international standards (ISO 178, ASTM D790)
