BS EN ISO 14544:2016

This standard BS EN ISO 14544:2016 Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical ceramics). Mechanical properties of ceramic composites at high temperature. Determination of compression properties is classified in these ICS categories:

• 81.060.30 Advanced ceramics

This International Standard specifies the conditions for determination of compression properties of ceramic matrix composite materials with continuous fibre reinforcement for temperatures up to 2 000 °C.

This International Standard 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.

Two types of compression are distinguished:

1. compression between platens;

2. compression using grips.
