BS 4370-4 is the fourth part of the multi-series standard that describes a method to determine the modulus of elasticity and strength in flexure of rigid cellular material of polymeric origin, but it is not necessarily suitable for rigid cellular material of inorganic origin. Where a fracture occurs in the lower surface of the specimen at a low tensile strain, i.e. less than 5 % strain, and in the absence of crushing of the specimen at the loading nose or supports, the method provides a means of determining the flexural strength.
NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
BS 4370-4 on Methods of test for Rigid cellular materials is relevant to:
BS 4370-4 specifies different methods and procedures for testing which apply to rigid cellular products of polymorphic origins.
BS 4370-4 specifies specimen requirements, apparatuses, and procedures for determining the flexural properties of rigid materials.
BS 4370-4 benefits occupational scientists and researchers in understanding and setting up guidelines for rigid cellular materials.
You can determine the flexural properties by applying BS 4370-4, which can lead to more flexible material.
