2、 adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide provides guidelines to facilitate the properpreparation
3、 of laminates and test specimens from fiber-reinforced organic matrix composite prepregs. The scope islimited to organic matrices and fiber reinforcement in unidi-rectional (tape) or orthagonal weave patterns. Other forms mayrequire deviations from these general guidelines. Other pro-cessing techniq
4、ues for test coupon preparation, for example,pultrusion, filament winding and resin-transfer molding, arenot addressed.1.2 Specimen preparation is modeled as an 8-step processthat is presented in Fig. 1 and Section 8. Laminate consolida-tion techniques are assumed to be by press or autoclave. Thispr
5、actice assumes that the materials are properly handled by thetest facility to meet the requirements specified by the materialsupplier(s) or specification, or both. Identification and infor-mation gathering guidelines are modeled after Guide E 1309.Test specimens shall be directly traceable to materi
6、al used asdesignated in Guide E 1434. Proper test specimen identifica-tion also includes designation of process equipment, processsteps, and any irregularities identified during processing.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within t
7、he text theinch-pound units are shown in brackets. The values stated ineach system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each systemmust be used independently of the other. Combining valuesfrom the two systems may result in nonconformance with thestandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to addres
8、s all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Guide4.1 This guide describes the general process flow for prepa-ration of flat composite panels and provides specific recom-mended techniques that are generally suitable to laminatedfibrous organic polymer matrix composites for each of
38、 theprocess steps to test specimen fabrication.4.2 The specific techniques included in this guide are theminimum recommended for common composite material sys-tems as represented in the scope of this guide. For a givenapplication other techniques may need to be added or substi-tuted for those descri
39、bed by this guide.5. Significance and Use5.1 The techniques described in this guide, if properly usedin conjunction with a knowledge of behavior of particularmaterial systems, will aid in the proper preparation of consoli-dated laminates for mechanical property testing.5.2 The techniques described a
40、re recommended to facilitatethe consistent production of satisfactory test specimens byminimizing uncontrolled processing variance during specimenfabrication.5.3 Steps 3 through 8 of the 8-step process may not berequired for particular specimen or test types. If the specimenor test does not require
41、a given step in the process of specimenfabrication, that particular step may be skipped.5.4 A test specimen represents a simplification of thestructural part. The test specimens value lies in the ability ofseveral sites to be able to test the specimen using standardtechniques. Test data may not show
42、 identical properties tothose obtained in a large structure, but a correlation can bemade between test results and part performance. This may bedue, in part, to the difficulty of creating a processing environ-ment for test specimens that identically duplicates that of largerscale processes.5.5 Toler
43、ances are guidelines based on current lab practices.This guide does not attempt to give detailed instructions due tothe variety of possible panels and specimens that could bemade. The tolerances should be used as a starting referencefrom which refinements can be made.6. Interferences6.1 Specimen pre
44、paration practices should reflect those usedon an applicable part, to the greatest extent practical. However,due to scaling effects, processing requirements for test lami-nates may not exactly duplicate the processes used in largerscale components. The user should attempt to understand andcontrol th
45、ose critical process parameters that may produce adifference in material response between the test coupon and thestructure. Critical process parameters are material, application,and process dependent and are beyond the scope of this guide.6.2 Laminate quality is directly related to the prevention of
46、contamination during lay-up and processing.7. Apparatus and MaterialsNOTE 1This section provides a listing of apparatus and material itemsthat have been shown to be acceptable.

The spacingbetween racks should be a minimum of 0.4 m 15 in. spacingbetween rods with the bottom rod being no closer than 0.6 m25 in. to the floor and the top rod being no higher than 2.2 m85 in. from the floor. Cabinets and drawers hold other lay-upmaterials such as sealants, spare tape, vacuum couples, hoses,caul plates, thermocouple wire, and so forth. These should becompartmentalized for easy access.7.1.1.3 Vacuum SupplyOverhead piping for vacuum witha flexible hose reel over the ta
