Describes a method applicable to rigid and semi-rigid non-reinforced and fibre-reinforced materials, in which a freely supported beam is loaded at mid-span. The materials are tested in the form of rectangular bars, either moulded directly or cut from sheets or other shapes. Flexural stress, deflection at rupture, and apparent modulus of elasticity are determined.
