ASTM D3039 Tensile Testing of Composites: Laboratory Testing Services

ASTM D3039 is a widely recognized standard for tensile testing of composites, developed by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). This standard provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating the mechanical properties of composite materials under tensile loading conditions. The standard is essential for ensuring the safety, reliability, and performance of composite products in various industries.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The use of composite materials is regulated by various international and national standards, including ISO 527-5, ASTM D3039, EN 2561, TSE 2556, and others. These standards specify the requirements for tensile testing of composites, including test conditions, sampling, and data analysis.

International and National Standards

  • ISO 527-5: Tensile properties of plastics (Part 5: Determination of tensile properties of composite materials)

  • ASTM D3039: Standard test method for tensile properties of polymer matrix composite laminates

  • EN 2561: Composites Determination of the in-plane shear stress/shear strain response (static)

  • TSE 2556: Composite materials - Determination of tensile properties

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The development and maintenance of standards for tensile testing of composites involve various organizations, including ASTM, ISO, EN, TSE, and others. These organizations collaborate to ensure that standards remain relevant, accurate, and up-to-date.
