Cured prepreg thickness calculation

Cured prepreg thickness calculation

Cured prepreg thickness calculation

(OP)
Hi there,

I would like how much I can press with a mould (metal) a prepreg fabric I have to know its final thicknesses.

It's SIGRATEX PREPREG CE 8093-205-43:

- Prepreg: Fabric plain ( KDL 8093 )
- Resin: Epoxy (E022)
- Fiber type: Warp and welf: M46J Carbon (223 Tex)
- Fiber area weight: 205 g/m²
- Prepreg weight: 360 g/m2
- Resin content: 43% +-3%
- Thickness in laminate:
·0,20 mm (Fibre content 55 vol.-%)
·0,18 mm (Fibre content 60 vol.-%)

If I put two layers (parallel, next to each other) and press with two plates. What is the minimum thicknesses I can get?

Two times 0,20mm? (from the last spec)

thanks
