Overview
SIST EN 13473-2:2002 specifies the methods of test and general requirements for multi-axial multi-ply fabrics used as reinforcement materials in composite applications. Part of a broader European standard (EN 13473), this document defines the procedures to assess designated and specified properties for these specialized fabrics, with direct references to criteria set in Parts 1 (designation) and 3 (specific requirements). The standard ensures consistency in testing, quality control, and performance criteria, benefiting industries reliant on composite materials.
Key Topics
- Test Methods for Multi-Axial Multi-Ply Fabrics
- Detailed procedures for determining material properties, such as mass per unit area, thickness, filament diameter, moisture content, and tensile properties.
- References normative standards including ISO 527-4 (mechanical properties), ISO 3374 (mass per area), ISO 4603 (thickness), and others.
- Physical Properties
- Establishes a list of key performance properties, along with guidance on appropriate testing methods.
- Properties covered include loss on ignition, size content, moisture content, filament diameter, and mechanical behavior of laminates.
- General Requirements
- Appearance: Fabrics must be free from contamination and unacceptable defects, classified as either major or minor, with strict limitations on cumulative defect points.
- Packaging: Products must be packaged to safeguard against damage during transport, handling, and storage.
- Labelling: Clear labelling is required for identification, including designation code, dimensions, mass, weight, manufacturing traceability, and special instructions.
- Defect Classification
- A systematic approach for identifying, scoring, and controlling defects such as missing threads, broken yarns, cuts, stains, and dimensional deviations, supporting quality assurance protocols.
Applications
Multi-axial multi-ply fabrics are vital in the manufacture of advanced composites across a range of sectors, where high mechanical performance, dimensional stability, and reliable quality are mandatory. SIST EN 13473-2:2002 is applicable to:
- Aerospace: Structural composite components requiring precise reinforcement properties.
- Automotive: Production of lightweight, high-strength panels and structural elements.
- Construction: Precast panels, bridge elements, and other infrastructure requiring durable reinforcement.
- Marine: Hull and deck reinforcements in boats and ships.
- Industrial Goods: Rotating machinery, wind turbine blades, and other engineering structures demanding consistent composite performance.
By specifying rigorous test methods and general requirements, the standard supports manufacturers, designers, and quality assurance teams in producing safe, reliable, and efficient composite products.
