Carbon fibre yarns - Part 2: Test methods and general specifications

Publication date:   Oct 23, 2003

Scope

This standard is applicable to high-performance, high modulus carbon fibre filament yarns as defined in material standards. The carbon fibre filament yarns are used for manufacturing semi-finished products and for reinforcing metallic, plastic and ceramic parts. Polyacrylonitrile, pitch or viscose filament yarns are used as precursor which are transformed into carbon fibre filament yarns by controlled pyrolysis.
