App.I Example for representative data unidirectional carbon tape TPW 0434 Prepreg – Page 246<br />

I.1 General<br />

I.1.1<br />

APPENDIX I EXAMPLE FOR REPRESENTATIVE DATA<br />

UNIDIRECTIONAL CARBON TAPE TPW 0434 PREPREG<br />

I.1.1.1 This appendix describes an example of a fairly complete set of data for a carbon fibre reinforced epoxy<br />

laminate. The laminates were made of carbon tape TPW 0343 Prepreg.<br />

I.1.1.2 Data were supplied by Tenax Fibers, Germany.<br />

I.1.1.3 Laminates made of similar carbon fibres may be similar to this example and can be qualified according<br />

to Sec.4 [8.6] - Qualification against representative data.<br />

I.1.1.4 Matrix dominated properties may change considerably when changing the resin system.<br />

I.1.1.5 Laminates made of carbon fibres with different characteristics than IMS 5131 410tex f12000 t0 may<br />

have very different properties from the ones listed here.<br />

I.1.1.6 Representative data for other materials can be measured and used like this example, as long as the<br />

requirements given in Sec.4 [8.5] and [8.6] are fulfilled.<br />

I.1.1.7 There is a lack of data for matrix dominated properties and of properties in water. Properties in other<br />

fluids are not listed, since only few and specific data exist. If such properties are needed some qualification<br />

testing may be required.<br />

I.2 Definition of material<br />
