21、tandard describes the production of laminate and sandwich composite test panels from glass fibre fabric and resin mixes. Test specimens, which are specified for the determination of the characteristics of the glass fibre reinforced mouldings, for the verification of the properties of their component
22、s or for the verification of the adhesive and sandwich composite properties, are taken from the test panel in accordance with the relevant test standard. This standard is not applicable to the production of test panels from unidirectional glass fibre fabric and resin mixes. 2 References EN 2090, Aer

25、pregnated glass fibre fabric (prepreg) is made into test panels under the influence of pressure and temperature in accordance with the manufacturers processing instructions. 3.3 Type C Glass fibre fabric is impregnated with liquid resin mix and made into test panels at room or elevated temperature w
26、ithout application of pressure in accordance with the resin manufacturers processing instructions. 4 Equipment and apparatus For types A and B, a hydraulic or mechanical press, an autoclave or equipment for vacuum bag fabrication is required. The equipment shall be fitted with a continuously variabl
27、e temperature and pressure control, which allows the prescribed values to be kept constant over the entire cure time. Provided there are no other agreements with the material supplier, the equipment shall be suitable for maintaining the temperature with an accuracy of 5 C and the press pressure with
28、 an accuracy of 5%. When a press is used, it shall be ensured that the press mould described in clause5 can be accommodated and that the closure rate for the last two millimetres of the closure travel does not exceed5mm/min. The equipment shall be fitted with suitable measuring devices for monitorin
29、g the fabrication parameters temperature, time and pressure. In autoclave or vacuum bag fabrication, a vacuum indicator shall also be available. In vacuum bag fabrication, it shall be ensured that the vacuum pump can maintain a reduced pressure of at least70kPa in the bag during the entire cure time
30、. Provided there are no different agreements with the material supplier, the production of the test panels is to be carried out in a light, well ventilated room at15 C to30 C and a relative humidity of30% to75%. 5 Tooling 5.1 Press moulds Press moulds according to Figure 1 and Figure 2 are used for
31、the production of test panels in a press. The choice of the press mould is to be made according to the material to be processed and the purpose of the test. The press moulds shall satisfy the following requirements: a) length and breadth of the pressing areas of the press mould shall be large enough
32、 to allow the manufacture of test panels from150mm 150mmto400mm 400mm. b) the moulding surfaces (surfaces designed for shaping the test panels) of the press mould should be hardened, polished and, if possible, hard chromium plated. 1) Published as AECMA standard at the date of publication of the pre
33、sent standard. 2) In preparation at the date of publication of the present standard.EN 2374:1991 4 BSI 12-1999 c) the lower moulding surface shall have a mark, which is reproduced on the test panel on pressing, in order to make the lower side of the test panel identifiable after the pressing procedu
34、re. The mark on the test panel shall not have a deleterious effect on the subsequent tests (seefirst note page4). d) the temperature over the entire moulding surface of the press mould shall not deviate locally by more than 3 C from the specified value e.g.measured by means of a thermocouple. e) the
35、 press mould type 1 consists of the elements shown in Figure 1. The height of the frame shall be large enough to provide a moulding cavity in which the glass fibre fabric impregnated with the resin mix can be inserted in one operation. f) the mould type 2 consists of the elements shown in Figure 2.
36、The plates shall be plane and parallel and are guided only at the four corners (open press mould). By placing spacers in the region of the guides, it is possible to mould to stops if required, i.e.a specific thickness of the test panel can be set. NOTEThe properties of the upper and lower faces of a
37、 pressed test panel are not exactly the same. As a result of the time span, which is necessary for putting the laminate in place and the closure process, the lower face of the test panel is heated longer and possibly also subjected to a higher temperature than the upper face. In the standards concer
38、ned, therefore, it is to be stipulated, if necessary, for which surface of the test panels the results shall be valid. Figure 1 Press mould type 1 Figure 2 Press mould type 2EN 2374:1991 BSI 12-1999 5 5.2 Tools for autoclave and vacuum bag fabrication For the fabrication of the laminate test panels,
39、 a pressure-tight base plate for the assembly, cover plate and various ancillaries, such as release films, sealing tape etc., are needed. For the fabrication of sandwich composite test panels, a rigid frame is also required, which shall be adjusted so that it takes up the forces acting laterally on
40、the sandwich composite structure in this fabrication process. 5.3 Tools for hand lay-up of laminate For the production of test panels in accordance with method C, a plane fixed support, approx.500mm 500mm in size and a cover (e.g.of glass) of the same size, are required, as well as spacers which can
41、 be inserted between the support and cover plate. NOTEAir bubbles can be detected easily if the support is either dark coloured or translucent and illuminated from below. 6 Fabrication of laminate test panels 6.1 Preparation 6.1.1 Pretreatment Unless otherwise specified, a pretreatment of the semifi
42、nished products shall be carried out for at least2h in the standard atmosphere in accordance with EN2743. 6.1.1.1 Glass fibre fabric A sufficient number of plies of glass fibre fabric for the fabrication of the test panel, seeclause6.1.2, is cut to size and dried in air for1h at80 C. Then the plies
43、are immediately stacked flat upon one another in a desiccator, where they shall be allowed to cool to room temperature. The drying can be omitted if the glass fibre fabric plies are kept in the standard atmosphere in accordance with EN2743, for at least48h before processing. 6.1.1.2 Preimpregnated g
44、lass fibre fabric Preimpregnated glass fibre fabric products, which have to be stored at temperature lower than room temperature, shall be air-tight packed then be brought to room temperature in a polyethylene bag so that no moisture pick-up can take place. The time required for the equilibration of
45、 temperature depends on the amount, but it shall not be less than4h. The time required is to be stated in the report. 6.1.2 Number of plies of glass fibre fabric for types A and C The number of plies of glass fibre fabric needed for a specific laminate thickness and a specific glass content can be c
46、alculated according to the following formula: in which: The number of plies of glass fibre fabric determined by this formula is to be rounded up or down in such a way that the test panel complies with the glass content in accordance with subclause6.1.5 and also the thickness requirement specified in
47、 the test standard. 6.1.3 Resin mixes 6.1.3.1 The resin mixes shall be produced and processed in accordance with the resin manufacturers processing instructions. 6.1.3.2 The amount m RMof the resin mix theoretically required is calculated according to the following formula: in which: The theoretical
48、ly determined amount m RMis to be increased by a least20% for the laminating process in practice to ensure a sufficient resine flow. 6.1.4 Number of plies of preimpregnated glass fibre fabric for type B The number of plies of glass fibre fabric necessary for a specific laminate thickness and a speci
49、fic glass content can be calculated according to the formula given in subclause6.1.2. For a sufficient resin flow, the glass content of the prepreg minus1% is used for b (glass content in mass-%) in the formula. n = number of plies of glass fibre fabric s = thickness of the test laminate, in mm m GL = mass per unit area of the glass fibre fabric product, in g/m 2 GL = density of the glass fibre fabric product, in g/cm 3 RM = density of the resin mix, in g/cm 3 b = glass content of the te
