BAS EN 1892:2009

This document specifies the conditions for determination of tensile properties of ceramic matrix composite materials with continuous fibre reinforcement for temperatures up to 2 000 °C under vacuum or a gas atmosphere which is inert to the material under test. NOTE The use of these environments is aimed at avoiding changes of the material to be tested due to chemical reaction with its environment during the test. This document applies to all ceramic matrix composites with a continuous fibre reinforcement, unidirectional (1D), bidirectional (2D), and tridirectional (xD, with 2 < x £ 3), loaded along one principal axis of reinforcement.
