The compressive and flexural tests in 3 and 4 point configuration up to 1500°C, in air or controlled atmosphere can be performed on specimen bars with specific size.

This investigation is important for materials that must retain their mechanical resistance at high temperature.

Universal screw-driven load frame machines for mechanical testing at high temperature are available for compressive, tensile and flexural tests in 3 and 4 point configuration of various types of ceramic and other materials. 

Conventional loading tests, but also to customize dedicated  loading/unloading cycles are possible.
