Ehdotuksen tiedot

This document specifies the method for the characterisation of the compaction response of fibrous reinforcements used in liquid composite moulding. Specimens are compressed at a controlled speed to a predetermined thickness and the relative compressive load is measured. In this method, specimens are tested in both the saturated (“wet”) and unsaturated (“dry”) state. The following steps explain how to prepare the test setup and characterise the compaction response. This method specifies the speed of testing. It should be noted that testing at different speeds can yield different results which may not be comparable.
