Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 10618 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 61, Plastics, Subcommittee SC 13, Composites
and reinforcement fibres.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 10618:2004(E)

Carbon fibre — Determination of tensile properties of

resin-impregnated yarn

1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method of test for the determination of the tensile strength, tensile
modulus of elasticity and strain at maximum load of a resin-impregnated yarn specimen. The method is
applicable to yarns (continuous and staple-fibre yarns) of carbon fibre for use as reinforcements in composite
materials.

2 Normative references

references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

Ff maximum tensile force, in newtons;

Af cross-sectional area of yarn, in square millimetres;

 SIST EN ISO 10618:2004

ISO 10618:2004(E)

ρf density of yarn, in grams per cubic centimetre;

Ttf linear density of yarn, in tex;

Tti linear density of impregnated yarn, in tex;

Ef tensile modulus of elasticity, in gigapascals;

L0 gauge length of extensometer, in millimetres;

∆L variation in the length, in millimetres, corresponding to the variation in the force, in newtons;

∆F variation in the force, in newtons, corresponding to the variation in the length, in millimetres.

5 Principle
A sample of yarn is uniformly impregnated with resin, then cured to provide test specimens. The specimens
are loaded in tension at a constant speed by a suitable mechanical testing machine until failure.

The tensile strength, the tensile modulus of elasticity and the strain at maximum load are calculated from the
force-extension relationship.

The tensile modulus is determined by dividing the variation in the stress by the corresponding variation in the
strain between two defined points. For carbon-fibre yarns, the relation between stress and strain is not linear,
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
hence a chord modulus must be defined. In method A, the modulus is defined between two strain levels and in
method B it is defined between two load levels. The linear density and the size content have to be determined
independently. (standards.iteh.ai)
NOTE The precision of the values obtained is believed
SIST ENtoISO
be approximately
10618:2004 the same for method A and for method B.
However, for the generally non-linear stress-strain response common to carbon fibres, the mean modulus values from
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/73e9c5f7-7f21-4326-8515-
these two methods will be somewhat different 21507a18f89f/sist-en-iso-10618-2004
and not necessarily statistically comparable. Method B, or other methods,
may be used in the purchase specification or for quality assurance by agreement between customer and supplier.

6 Apparatus and materials

6.1 Resin

The impregnating resin shall be compatible with the yarn and its size. The viscosity of the resin or resin
solution shall be such that sufficient resin pick-up is achieved to ensure uniform impregnation. The strain at
failure of the cured resin shall be at least twice that of the fibre, preferably three times. In this respect, heat-
curable epoxy-resin systems with a viscosity during impregnation of preferably less than 1 000 mPa⋅s are
suitable (see Annex A for example) as is any formulation capable of giving test specimens that fulfill the
requirements of this International Standard. The resin formulation, however, shall be specified in detail and
shall be agreed upon between the fibre manufacturer and the user.

6.2 Impregnation apparatus

Test specimens can be prepared by any method which produces a uniformly impregnated, smooth specimen.

These methods include both single- and multiple-specimen preparation techniques. A multiple-specimen
impregnation apparatus may consist of:

6.2.1 A holder for the sample yarn bobbin, with yarn-tensioning devices.

6.2.2 An impregnation bath, with temperature-control devices and impregnation rollers or yarn-tensioning
bars.

 SIST EN ISO 10618:2004

ISO 10618:2004(E)

6.2.3 A unit to remove excess resin from the impregnated yarn by passing it over rollers covered with fabric,
paper or felt and/or through a die.

6.2.4 A frame to wind up the impregnated yarn, preferably made of wood or metal coated with rubber.

Examples of impregnation apparatus are given in Annex B.

6.3 Curing oven with temperature control

A fan circulation oven is preferable to ensure uniform curing of the resin.

6.4 Tensile-testing machine

6.4.1 Use a tensile-testing machine with a constant crosshead speed, equipped with force- and extension-
recording devices. The accuracy of the force indication shall be better than 1 % of the recorded value. The
specimen-gripping system shall ensure that the test specimen is aligned with the axis of the test machine.

6.4.2 The tensile-testing machine shall include an extensometer linked to a continuous-recording device
which automatically records the extension within the gauge length of the extensometer as a function of the
force on the test specimen. The extensometer should be sufficiently light to induce only negligible stresses in
the test specimen.

The gauge length of the extensometer shall be at least 50 mm but preferably 100 mm. The gauge length shall
be determined with a tolerance of ± 1 %.
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
The extensometer shall have a tolerance on deviation from linearity of not more than 0,1 % over the required
extension-measurement range. (standards.iteh.ai)
Examples of suitable extensometers are given in Annex D. Other strain-measuring instruments, such as
SIST
optical or laser instruments, may be used, EN ISO 10618:2004
if suitable.

21507a18f89f/sist-en-iso-10618-2004
6.5 Balance

Use a balance readable to 0,1 g to weigh the test specimens to determine the linear density of the
impregnated yarn.

6.6 Ruler

Use a graduated ruler or other measuring device at least 500 mm long and accurate to ± 1 mm.

7 Test specimens

7.1 Number of test specimens

Prepare sufficient test specimens to enable four determinations to be made. If any of the specimens fails
within the grips or at the tabs, or because of damage caused by the extensometer, discard the result and carry
out a repeat determination on a fresh test specimen.

7.2 Length of test specimens

For test specimens with tabs, the length of the test specimen between the tabs shall be either (150 ± 5) mm or
(200 ± 5) mm. For test specimens without tabs, the total length of the test specimen shall be (250 ± 5) mm or
(300 ± 5) mm (at least the extensometer gauge length plus twice the grip length).
