ASTM WK40591

(What is a Work Item? / How to Input to a Work Item)

Work Item: ASTM WK40591 - Revision of D6484 / D6484M - 09 Standard Test Method for Open-Hole Compressive Strength of Polymer Matrix Composite Laminates


Active Standard: D6484 / D6484M - 09

Developed by Subcommittee: D30.05 | Committee D30 Home | Contact Staff Manager



1. Rationale

The micrometer diameter stated in section 7.1 for use in this method is not a standard diameter, and the language in the first statement is unclear. Changing the section to allow the use of readily available micrometers, and clearly stating the specification of each type will make it easier for a first time user to get the necessary apparatus and comply with the test method.
