TG 4975 3 Point Bend Jig for Polystyrene to EN 12089:1997 Method B This fixture is designed to perform three point bend tests on polystyrene samples measuring 300 x 150 x 50 mm (11.81 x 5.91 x 1.97 in) in accordance with the standard EN 12089: 1997 (Method B). The jig consists of an extruded aluminium base with a fixed centre of 250 mm (9.84 in). Two circular supports 30 mm (1.18 in) in diameter, are fitted to the base. The sample is placed centrally on the two supports. An upper loading anvil with a 5/8 in eye end is fixed to the machine’s load cell and driven down onto the sample midway between the two supports. Capacity 1 kN (225 lbf) Packaging Base with supports and upper anvil. Applications Used to determine the resistance of the sample to bending stresses. Standards Applicable EN 12089: 1997 (Method B - bending behaviour of test specimens). Thermal Insulating Products for Building Applications - Determination of Bending Behaviour.
