ASTM D7264 (D7264/D7264M) — Flexural Properties of Polymer Matrix Composite Materials

← Back to all standards

ASTM D7264 is the test method for the flexural properties of polymer matrix composites. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ASTM D7264 Covers

It determines flexural strength and modulus of composite laminates using three- or four-point bending, a common quality and design property.

How the Test Is Run

A composite bar is loaded in three- or four-point bending at a controlled rate, and flexural strength and modulus are calculated from the load-deflection response.

Why It Matters

Flexural properties rank composite stiffness and strength in bending; a rigid fixture and accurate deflection measurement are essential.
