ASTM C99 is the test method for the modulus of rupture (flexural strength in bending) of dimension stone. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ASTM C99 Covers
It compares the bending performance of stone types and supports material qualification for dimension stone used in construction and cladding.
How the Test Is Run
A stone specimen is supported and loaded in bending until it breaks, and the modulus of rupture is calculated from the failure load and specimen dimensions.
Why It Matters
Flexural strength governs how dimension stone resists bending in service; a flexure fixture and accurate load measurement are essential.
