ASTM C365
Standard Test Method for Flatwise Compressive Properties of Sandwich Cores
Scope:
This test is for the determination of the compressive strength and modulus of sandwich core materials.
Procedure:
After conditioning and machining the specimen to appropriate specifications, the specimen is centered on the lower platen. Proper centering is crucial to achieve uniform loading. Preloading is required before proceeding with the test to ensure immediate load ramp during strain.
Data:
Compressive strength, strain, and modulus of elasticity.
Equipment Used:
Loading platens, Test frame.
