ASTM C293 Flexural Strength of Concrete Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard Test Method for Flexural Strength of Concrete (Using Simple Beam with Third-Point Loading), designated as ASTM C293, is a widely accepted standard for determining the flexural strength of concrete. This testing service is essential in ensuring that concrete products meet specific requirements and regulations.

International and National Standards

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has published several standards related to concrete testing, including ISO 1920-3:2015, which covers the determination of the flexural strength of concrete using a simple beam with third-point loading. In Europe, the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) publishes standards such as EN 12390-5:2019, which specifies the requirements for determining the compressive strength and other mechanical properties of concrete.

Standard Development Organizations

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and European Committee for Standardization (CEN) are prominent standard development organizations that play a crucial role in developing and updating standards related to concrete testing. These organizations collaborate with industry stakeholders, governments, and regulatory bodies to ensure that standards are relevant, effective, and meet the needs of various industries.
