Tensile

Flatwise tensile strength of sandwich constructions (core-to-facing bond).

Compression

Edgewise compressive strength of sandwich constructions.

ASTM C365

Compression

Flatwise compressive properties of sandwich cores.

ASTM C393 / D7249

Flexure & bend

Core shear and facing properties of sandwich constructions by beam flexure.

ASTM D2290

Tensile

Apparent hoop tensile strength of plastic or reinforced pipe by split-disk method.

ASTM D2344

Shear

Short-beam strength — interlaminar shear strength of composite laminates.

Tell us the specimen, not just the standard.

Thickness, width and expected break force decide the grip as much as the method does. Send us those and we will specify the frame, the load cell and the fixture around them.
