EN 2746 is the aerospace-series flexural test method for glass-fibre-reinforced plastics (GFRP). To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What EN 2746 Covers
It determines the flexural strength of GFRP laminates under the aerospace framework, supporting qualification of composite materials for aircraft structures.
How the Test Is Run
A GFRP bar is loaded in bending at a controlled rate until failure, and the flexural strength is calculated from the peak load and specimen geometry.
Why It Matters
Flexural strength characterizes GFRP for aerospace use; a rigid fixture and careful specimen preparation are essential for the laminate.
