BS ISO 3597-3:2003

This standard BS ISO 3597-3:2003 Textile-glass-reinforced plastics. Determination of mechanical properties on rods made of roving-reinforced resin is classified in these ICS categories:

• 59.100.10 Textile glass materials
• 83.120 Reinforced plastics

This part of ISO 3597 specifies a method for determining the compressive strength of composite rods of circular cross-section made of roving-reinforced resin. The test may be carried out on “as-moulded” rods, or on rods that have been pretreated by immersion in boiling water (or another medium) for a specified time. The test is intended for inspection and quality control of rovings or for evaluating their suitability for use in a resin system. The results obtained are not intended for the generation of design data.
