3 & 4 Point Flexural Fixture

Key Features:

1. Transversal Swivels: Equipped with two transversal swivels at opposite beam supports, the fixture minimizes stress concentrations on warped beams, enhancing testing accuracy.
2. Friction Error Reduction: Supports can rotate without lateral displacement or with controlled lateral displacement, reducing friction errors and ensuring precise measurement.
3. Optional Sensor Packages
   • CFB-NDEF Package: Measures average net deflection of the neutral axis during loading, providing precise data for analysis. Sliding reference support to allow for beam elongation.
   • CFB-CMOD Package: Measures average Crack Mouth Opening Displacement, ideal for assessing crack propagation and fracture toughness.
4. Versatile Configuration: Compatible with 150 x 150 mm or 100 x 100 mm concrete beams, the fixture supports both third-point and center-point loading configurations, offering flexibility in testing methodologies.
