ASTM standard test method for ceramic flexural strength

[limct]

hi all,

I am looking for the testing method for flexural strength of ceramic and I come across several different type. Does anyone know the difference between ASTM-F417, ASTM-F394 and ASTM-C1161?

Another question is, whether the speed of the loading will influence the flexural strength of the ceramic? Let's say we have 0.2mm/min and 0.5mm/min, how big would the difference between the two set of flexural strength be?

thanks.

Best regards,
ct

F394 and F417 has been withdrawn and not replaced. You should use C1161 for your application. I don't have direct knowledge of the difference between 0.2 and 0.5 mm/s. This should be something that a provider of ceramic material could easily answer.
