Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 12986-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 226, Materials for the production of primary
aluminium.
ISO12986 consists of the following parts, under the general title Carbonaceous materials used in the
production of aluminium — Prebaked anodes and cathode blocks:
— Part 1: Determination of bending/shear strength by a three-point method
— Part 2: Determination of flexural strength by the four-point method

Carbonaceous materials used in the production of aluminium —
Prebaked anodes and cathode blocks —
Part 2:
Determination of flexural strength by the four-point method
1Scope
This part of ISO 12986 specifies a four-point method to determine the flexural strength of carbon and solids
graphite materials at room temperature.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document
(including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
flexural strength
σ
bB
quotient of the bending moment, at fracture of the specimen under the conditions of the four-point method, and
its section moment
M
B
σ = (1)
bB
W
where
M is the bending moment, in newton millimetres;
B
W is the section moment, in cubic millimetres.
NOTE 1 It is expressed in newtons per square millimetre.
NOTE 2 Generally the maximum load displayed on the test machine and the load at fracture are similar; if they are
different, the term refers to the maximum load displayed.

3.2
bending moment
M
B
maximum moment at fracture, calculated from the maximum load displayed by the testing machine and the
geometry of the test specimen
NOTE Generally the maximum load displayed on the test machine and the load at fracture are similar; if they are different,
the term refers to the maximum load displayed.
4Principle
A bar-shaped test specimen is placed on two bearing blocks and its centre is loaded until the test specimen
ruptures; the load is equally distributed on two points. The flexural strength is calculated from the load at
fracture, the distance between the load-bearing edges and the points of support, and the dimensions of the
cross-section of the test specimen.
5 Apparatus
5.1 Compression-testing machine, which meets at least the demands of class 2 in accordance with
ISO 7500-1.
5.2 Measuring device with two bearing blocks and two loading edges.
The device shall guarantee a symmetrical load over the whole test lengt
