Historical Standard: ASTM D3846-94 Standard Test Method for In-Plane Shear Strength of Reinforced Plastics
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D3846
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the in-plane shear strength of reinforced thermosetting plastics in flat sheet form in thicknesses ranging from 2.54 to 6.60 mm (0.100 to 0.260 in.).
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
Note 1This standard has no known ISO equivalent.
