Summary of Test Methods4.1 These test methods include procedures for determiningthe tensile str

16、ength and modulus of a resin-impregnated andconsolidated carbon fiber tow. Also included are procedures tomeasure the mass per unit length and density of the carbonfiber and the resin content of the resin-impregnated andconsolidated specimens.4.2 MULThe MUL of the fiber is determined by dividingthe

17、mass of a sample of sized fiber by its length.4.3 DensityThe density of the fiber is determined usingArchimedes method or a pycnometer method. The recom-mended specimen is desized or unsized fiber. The idealimmersion fluid is one that completely wets the specimen andprovides minimum toxicity or envi

18、ronmental hazard.4.4 Resin ContentThe resin content (weight percent) ofthe resin-impregnated and consolidated fiber is determined bycomparing the mass per unit length of the impregnated andconsolidated specimen to the fiber mass per unit length.4.5 Tensile PropertiesThe tensile strength and tensilec

19、hord modulus of the fiber are determined by the tensileloading to failure of the resin-impregnated and consolidatedfiber. The chord modulus is determined between defined strainlimits. The purpose of the impregnating resin is to provide thefiber, when consolidated, with sufficient mechanical strength

20、 toproduce an easily handled test specimen capable of sustaininguniform loading of the individual filaments in the specimen.The resin shall be compatible with the fiber and any sizeapplied to it. The strain capability of the consolidated resinshall be at least twice the strain capability of the fibe

21、r.5. Significance and Use5.1 The properties determined by these test methods are ofvalue in material specifications, qualifications, data basegeneration, certification, research, and development.5.2 These test methods are intended for the testing of fibersthat have been specifically developed for us

22、e as reinforcingagents in advanced composite structures. The test results of animpregnated and consolidated fiber should be representative ofthe strength and modulus that are available in the materialwhen used as intended. The performance of fibers in differentresin systems can vary significantly so

23、 that correlations be-tween results using these test methods and composite testingmay not always be obtained.5.3 The reproducibility of test results is dependent uponprecise control over all test conditions. Resin type, content anddistribution, curing process, filament alignment, gripping in thetest

24、ing machine, and alignment in the testing machine are ofspecial importance.5.4 The measured strengths of fibers are not unique quan-tities and test results are strongly dependent on the test methodsused. Therefore the test method described here will notnecessarily give the same mean strengths or sta

25、ndard devia-tions as those obtained from single filaments, dry fibers,composite laminas, or composite laminates.6. Apparatus6.1 Three sets of apparatus are required. One set is for resinimpregnation of the fiber. A second set is for curing theresin-impregnated specimens. A third set is for tensile t

26、estingthe resin-impregnated and consolidated specimens. Optionalapparatus may be used for applying end tabs to the specimensand removing sizing.6.1.1 Resin ImpregnationThe goal of the resin-impregnation apparatus is to apply and uniformly impregnateresin into the fiber. This is normally achieved by

27、dipping thefiber into the resin and then working the wet fiber over rolls orthrough a die, or both. While automated apparatuses arepreferred for consistency, any apparatus which achieves uni-form impregnation of 35 to 60 % resin by weight and does notdamage the fiber is acceptable.6.1.2 Consolidatio

28、nAn apparatus to hold the impregnatedspecimens under tension during consolidation is required.6.1.3 Optional End TabsAn apparatus to cast resin endtabs on specimens may be used.Apparatuses to apply and alignother forms of end tabs such as bonded on cardboard or metaltabs may also be used.6.1.4 Testi

29、ngA tensile testing machine and recorder meet-ing the requirements of Practices E4 at the maximum expectedtest load are required. The load recording device shall becoordinated with the extensometer and strain recorder to assurethat the corresponding load and elongation of the specimen arerecorded at

30、 essentially the same time. The testing machineshall also have the following features:6.1.4.1 GripsGrips suitable for loading the tabbed oruntabbed specimen without damaging it are required. For resintabbed specimens a custom grip is generally required. Foruntabbed or cardboard tabbed specimens pneu

31、matic or hydrau-lically powered grips are typically used. Different grip pressuresettings may be required for different fibers.6.1.4.2 JawsJaws compatible with the grips and capableof holding a specimen without damaging it are required. Foruntabbed specimens, flat jaws with rubber or other compliant

32、materials bonded to the face are generally used. Sandpapermay also be placed on the grips to reduce slippage. Forcardboard tabbed specimens serrated jaws are generally used.Jaws should be inspected regularly and cleaned or repaired asrequired.6.1.4.3 Extensometer and RecorderAn extensometer andrecor

33、ding device in accordance with the requirements ofPractice E83 Class B-2 are required. The extensometer andrecorder shall be coordinated with the tensile testing machineso that the corresponding load and elongation of the specimenare recorded at essentially the same time.6.1.4.4 Balance, AnalyticalA

Test Specimens8.1

37、Mass per Unit Length SpecimenThe specimen tomeasure mass per unit length isa1mminimum length of fiberin the form in which it is intended to be used. Test onespecimen per sample. Coil the specimen into a usable form fortesting. Care is required to not damage and lose filaments fromthe specimen.8.2 De

38、nsity SpecimenDensity specimens may be sized,unsized, or desized material. Unsized or desized samples arepreferred. Test one specimen per sample. A 1 m minimumlength is required for Test Method D3800. For methods in TestMethods D70 and D5550, a suitable volume to fill thecontainer is recommended. Co

39、il the specimen into a usableform for testing. Care is required to not damage and losefilaments from the specimen.8.3 Tensile Test SpecimenThe tensile specimen shall be atabbed or untabbed resin-impregnated and consolidated fiber.Tabbed specimens shall have a 150 6 5 mm gage lengthbetween the tabs.

40、Untabbed specimens shall be of sufficientlength to allow a 150 6 5 mm gage length between the gripswhen they are tested. Samples with 3000 filaments or less maybe tested using specimens of more than one fiber bundle tofacilitate handling. Combine the bundles before resin impreg-nation and count the

41、test results as one specimen. Test aminimum of four test specimens per sample. Separate testspecimens for modulus and strength determination are permit-ted; however, four specimens for each test are required.Specimens that are fuzzy, curved, not uniform in cross section,have broken filaments, resin

42、lumps, or other observable defectsshould be rejected unless they are representative of the materialbeing tested.9. Conditioning9.1 Fibers that adsorb less than 0.5 % moisture by weight at23 6 2C and 90 % or greater relative humidity require noconditioning before testing. Conduct mass per unit length

43、,density, and tensile testing for these materials at 23 6 7C and50 6 20 % relative humidity unless other conditions are thevariables of interest.9.2 Fibers that adsorb more than 0.5 % moisture by weightat 23 6 2C and 90 % or greater relative humidity requireconditioning before testing. Condition fib

44、ers at 23 6 2C and50 6 10 % relative humidity for a minimum of 24 h. Conductmass per unit length and density testing at 23 6 2C and 50 610 % relative humidity unless other conditions are the vari-ables of interest. Conduct tensile testing at 23 6 7C and 50 610 % relative humidity unless other condit

45、ions are the vari-ables of interest.9.3 To determine moisture adsorption, dry a minimum offive mass per unit-type specimens at 120 6 5C for 24 h in acirculating air oven. Cool samples in a desiccator. Removesamples from desiccator one at a time and immediately weighthem. Place samples in a humidity

46、chamber and maintain at 236 2C and 90 % or greater relative humidity for 24 h. Removesamples from the humidity chamber one at a time and weighimmediately.9.4 If all specimens are conditioned for 24 h and mass perunit length and density testing are performed at 23 6 2C and50 6 10 % relative humidity,

47、 then no testing for moistureadsorption is required.9.5 Moisture adsorption testing is only required once annu-ally for a standard product.10. Specimen Preparation10.1 Mass per Unit LengthNo preparation is required.Thesample is taken from a package of material as it is intended tobe used.10.2 Densit

48、yThe preferred density specimen is a desizedor unsized fiber. This eliminates any need to correct for thedensity of the sizing. The sizing may be removed using solventextraction, pyrolysis, or other means. An example method isdescribed in Appendix X1. An unsized sample of a sized fiberwould have to

49、be collected during the production of the fiberand is therefore not recommended.10.3 Tensile TestThe tensile test specimen must be im-pregnated with resin and consolidated before testing.10.3.1 Resin PreparationAny resin that meets the require-ments of 4.5 may be used. The resin when combined with thefiber shall produce a composite (reinforcement/matrix) failure.A resin generally found satisfactory is a combination ofbisphenolA(or bisphenol F) epoxy and diethyltoluene diaminein the weight ratio of 3.9:1.
