What is BS EN 17129 – Tensile properties of pultruded unidirectional rods about?
BS EN 17129 specifies a method for determining the tensile properties of pultruded, unidirectional rods made from continuous fibre-reinforced plastic composites, in parallel to fibre direction.
BS EN 17129 is applicable to pultruded rods which diameters are preferably ranging from 3 mm to 20 mm.
BS EN 17129 is suitable for use with continuous-fibre-reinforced plastic composites made from carbon fibres and glass fibres.
BS EN 17129 is suitable for use with all polymer matrix systems reinforced with unidirectional fibres having a cylindrical shape.
Note: BS EN 17129 is not intended to be used for testing specimens such as tubes or yarns already covered by other test methods.
Who is BS EN 17129 – Tensile properties of pultruded unidirectional rods for?
BS EN 17129 on tensile properties of pultruded unidirectional rods is useful for:
- Pultruded unidirectional rods manufacturing industries
- Pultruded unidirectional rods testing laboratories
Why should you use BS EN 17129 – Tensile properties of pultruded unidirectional rods?
A pultruded rod is submitted to internal residual tensile stresses which affect its tensile properties. To determine the true performance of a pultruded rod, it is necessary to perform the tensile tests on the entire rod.
BS EN 17129 provides guidance on measuring load sustained and elongation resulting due to the application of force, so as to ensure the tensile strength of pultruded unidirectional rods.
BS EN 17129 helps determine the tensile properties of pultruded unidirectional rods with the test methods specified and record data, with accuracy and precision.
