Standard mechanical tests for laminates
Standard mechanical tests for laminates
(OP)
We have some samples of SRBP which has been in service and want to check how the properties compare with original (in particular, tensile strength and impact strength).
Does anyone know of standard properties for SRBP? Also, I've been informed that ASTM D3039 is applicable to tensile testing, and ASMT D3763 may be applicable for impact testing. Is this correct? If not, what testing should we look to perform?
Thanks

RE: Standard mechanical tests for laminates
Do you have the original strength values? were they generated by you or the vendor? what test method was used to generate the original values (if they came from the vendor and the datasheet does not list the test method, contact the vendor for the info)?
Suggest you go to www.astm.org and purchase a copy of D4762, Standard Guide for Testing Polymer Matrix Composite Materials

- Saturated Red and Blue Pigments?
- Standard Reinforced Black Pieces?

Another impact test is the CHARPY impact test which, as of late, has grown in popularity for many companies.
