Significance and Use5.1 Normally, a close tolerance is desirable for core thick-ness so that sandwich panels may be manufactured with all thesandwich components fitting properly

17、and without crushing thecore.5.2 These test methods are designed for measuring thick-ness of core as it is produced and are not intended for use indetermining dimensions of core specimens for other tests.5.3 These test methods provide standard methods of obtain-ing the core thickness of flat sandwic

19、efore be reported include the following: core materialthrough-thickness rigidity, surface roughness, specimen geom-etry (including warpage), specimen preparation, methods ofdimensional measurement, specimen conditioning, and mois-ture content during dimensional measurements.6. Interferences6.1 Mater

20、ial and Specimen PreparationPoor materialfabrication practices and damage induced by improper speci-men machining are known causes of high data scatter incomposites and sandwich structures in general. Importantaspects of sandwich core specimen preparation that contributeto data scatter include the e

21、xistence of joints, voids or othercore discontinuities, out-of-plane curvature/warpage, and sur-face roughness.6.2 Measurement Equipment and ProceduresResults areaffected by the method of thickness measurement, use ofpressure to flatten warped core, and the distance along whichthickness is measured.

22、6.3 EnvironmentResults are affected by the environmen-tal conditions under which specimens are conditioned, as wellas the conditions under which the tests are conducted. Speci-mens tested in various environments, with different ambientmoisture contents, can exhibit significant differences in mea-sur
