A novel dynamic ring‐on‐ring equibiaxial flexural testing technique with single pulse loading capability is established on a modified Kolsky bar. This technique is then utilized to investigate the loading‐rate and surface‐condition effects on the flexural strength of a borosilicate glass. Quasi‐static and dynamic experiments are performed at loading rates ranging from 5 × 10 −1 to 5 × 10 6 MPa/s. It is found that the flexural strength of the borosilicate glass strongly depends on the applied loading rates. HF acid corrosion on the surface promotes the flexural strength to above 1.3 GPa. Fractographic analysis shows that surface modification has changed the type of flaws that govern the flexural strength of glass samples.
