ASTM C 880 (C-880) determines the flexural strength of stone by use of a simple beam using quarter-point loading. This testing method helps determine the differences in flexural strength between stones of varying dimension and is one element in comparing stones of the same type. TestResources provides machines, grips, equipment, and fixtures for testing in accordance with ASTM C880.
