Expert Commentary
The primary standard for Flexural Strength of Advanced Ceramics at ambient temperature. It specifies 3-point or 4-point bending. Due to the extreme brittleness of ceramics, the fixtures must have semi-articulating rollers to compensate for non-parallelism in the specimen, preventing localized stress concentrations that lead to invalid premature failures.
