Scope
GB/T 8812.1-2007 (Rigid cellular plastics -- Determination of flexural properties -- Part 1: Basic bending test) is available as an English-translated PDF.
GB/T 8812.1-2007 is the Chinese standard "Rigid cellular plastics -- Determination of flexural properties -- Part 1: Basic bending test".
Its scope clause reads: This Part of GB/T 8812 specifies a test method for determining the load or breaking load of rigid cellular plastic specimens at a specified deformation under the action of three-point bending load.
This Part is applicable to materials with a thickness of not less than 20 mm. This Part is not applicable to easily crushable cellular plastics. This method uses small-sized specimens and does not generate pure bending deformation.
Therefore, it cannot be used to calculate flexural strength or apparent flexural modulus of elasticity. The determined values can only be compared when the physical properties and dimensions of the materials are similar.
Its clauses include principle; instruments; specimens; operating procedures. It was issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People’s Republic of China on 2007-12-05 and took effect on 2008-09-01.

1 Scope
This Part of GB/T 8812 specifies a test method for determining the load or breaking load of rigid cellular plastic specimens at a specified deformation under the action of three-point bending load.
This Part is applicable to materials with a thickness of not less than 20 mm.
This Part is not applicable to easily crushable cellular plastics.
This method uses small-sized specimens and does not generate pure bending deformation.
Therefore, it cannot be used to calculate flexural strength or apparent flexural modulus of elasticity.
The determined values can only be compared when the physical properties and dimensions of the materials are similar.

3 Principle
The load head applies load to the specimen supported on two supports at a certain speed. The load shall be applied perpendicular to the specimen at the center of the two supporting points (see Figure 1). Record the load value or the breaking load value when the specimen reaches the specified deformation.
4 Instruments
4.1 Testing Machine
The material testing machine or bending testing machine shall have a load head capable of constant speed operation. Within the testing machine’s measuring range, the load accuracy shall be ±1% and the displacement accuracy shall be 0.1 mm.
4.2 Supports
Composed of two parallel cylinders mounted on the same horizontal plate, with an arc radius of (5 ± 0.2) mm and a length greater than the specimen width. The span between the two supports shall be (100 ± 1) mm.
4.3 Load Head
The shape and dimensions shall be identical to the supports. The load head shall be at the center of the supports and parallel to the supports.
4.4 Measuring Tools
Accuracy. 0.01 mm.
5 Specimens
5.1 Shape and Dimensions
The specimens shall be cuboid. Length. (120 ± 1.20) mm, width. (25 ± 0.25) mm, thickness.
(20 ± 0.20) mm.
5.2 Preparation
During specimen preparation, the cellular structure of the specimens shall not be deformed. The specimens may be skinned on one or more sides. If so, this condition shall be recorded.
5.3 Quantity
Each group shall consist of at least five specimens. When the test material is suspected to be anisotropic, two groups of specimens shall be prepared, with their axes respectively parallel and perpendicular to the direction of cell elongation.
When one side of the specimens is skinned, unless otherwise specified, two groups of specimens shall be tested. one with the skin in tension and the other in compression. The test results shall be separately reported.
5.4 Conditioning
The specimens shall be conditioned in an environment specified in GB/T 2918.The standard test conditions are a temperature of (23 ± 2) °C and a relative humidity of 50% ± 5%, or (27 ±
2) °C and a relative humidity of 65% ± 10%. Depending on the intended use, other test conditions may be selected, but the test temperature is preferably selected from -196 °C, -70 °C,
-10 °C, 0 °C and 40 °C.
6 Operating Procedures
In accordance with the provisions of GB/T 6342, measure the specimen dimensions. Place the specimen symmetrically on the supports and apply a load that is perpendicular to the specimen’s longitudinal axis (see Figure 1).
Carefully adjust the position of the load head. When it just contacts the specimen, record this position as the zero point of specimen deformation. During operation, the load head applies the load to the specimen at a rate of (10 ± 2) mm/min. Record the load when the specimen deformation reaches (20 ± 0.2) mm. If the specimen breaks before reaching a deformation of
20 mm, record the load and deformation at the point of breaking.
