Continuous-fibre-reinforced plastic composites - Pultruded unidirectional rods - Determination of tensile properties in parallel to the fibre direction

Publication date:   Apr 11, 2019

Scope

This document specifies a method for determining the tensile properties of pultruded, unidirectional rods made from continuous fibre-reinforced plastic composites, in parallel to fibre direction.
It is applicable to pultruded rods which diameters are preferably ranging from 3 mm to 20 mm.
This method is suitable for use with continuous-fibre-reinforced plastic composites made from carbon fibres and glass fibres.
This method is suitable for use with all polymer matrix systems reinforced with unidirectional fibres having a cylindrical shape.
This method is not intended to be used for testing specimens such as tubes or yarns already covered by other test methods.
