EN 13421:2006 (E) 4 Introduction The main advantage of fibre reinforced moulding composite like SMC/BMC and GMT/LFT is their ability to carry even lon
19、ger reinforcing fibres to all parts of the mould during compression moulding. This material flow causes fibre orientation in the moulding and as a consequence an anisotropy of the properties. To provide engineers with suitable data for designing new mouldings the knowledge of the anisotropy received
20、 under defined moulding conditions is essential. In practice the mould coverage of those composites is in the range of 25 % to 30 % therefore the necessary test plates for preparing test specimens by machining needs to be manufactured under comparable conditions. For both composites this supposition
21、 is fulfilled in their European Standards for the preparation of test plates to determine flowability. Therefore these test plates can also be used for the preparation of specimens for determining the anisotropy of the composites to be tested. No special procedure to manufacture test plates has to b
22、e given in this European Standard. EN 13421:2006 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for the preparation of specimens of compression moulding composites for determining the anisotropy induced by material flow. It is applicable to all SMC/BMC and GMT/LFT composites, which are bein
23、g moulded under defined moulding conditions as described in EN ISO 12115 and ISO 1268-9. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest
24、 edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

28、ompression moulded test plates. The handling conditions of the products and materials used shall comply with the national regulations in force in each country and the staff shall be informed of the risks involved and appropriate precautions taken. EN 13421:2006 (E) 6 5 Principle To receive comparabl
29、e data the specimens are being machined out of the flow areas of test plates which been manufactured under defined moulding conditions (see EN ISO 12115, ISO 1268-9 and Figure 1). NOTE Details of preparing the composites, loading the mould and applying the moulding conditions are given in the respec
30、tive standards. They are different for both composites except the mould coverage. 6 Plate dimensions It is recommended to compression mould a plate of about 200 mm 590 mm (see also method II in EN ISO 12115). 7 Procedure 7.1 Follow the recommendations given in EN ISO 2818. 7.2 Cut the test specimens
31、 parallel to the flow direction out of the flow area A of the test plate (see Figure 2). 7.3 Before machining the specimens perpendicular to the flow direction (flow area B) 50 mm of the end of the test plate shall be cut off because of misalignment of fibres at the end of the test plate. NOTE Norma
32、lly 5 tests are carried out to determine the tensile properties. For better statistical safety it is recommended and should agree upon between user and supplier to manufacture 3 test plates of each composites to be tested. 7.4 Check if all test specimens are free of failures which may effect the fur
33、ther test procedure (e.g. surface fissures, high void content, local delaminations etc.) 8 Manufacturing report The report shall include the following information: a) reference to this European Standard, i.e. EN 13421; b) complete identification of the test plate used as given in their respective EN
34、 standard test report; c) date of preparing the specimens; d) dimensions of the specimens; e) number of test specimens for both flow directions; f) statement as to whether any test specimens have been rejected and, if so, the reasons; g) any details not specified in this European Standard which may
35、have an influence on the further test results. 9 Precision The precision of the machining of the test specimens depends on the accuracy of the respective cutting procedure. It has to fulfil the requirements for specimens used to determine the tensile properties according to EN ISO 527-4. Therefore n
