Carbon fiber—Determination of tensile properties of resin-impregnated yarn
1 Scope
This Standard specifies a method of test for the determination of the tensile strength, tensile modulus of elasticity and strain at maximum load of a resin-impregnated yarn specimen.
The method is applicable to yarns (continuous and staple-fibre yarns) of carbon fibre for use as reinforcements in composite materials.
