ASTM E1922 Translaminar Fracture Toughness of Polymers
Standard test method ASTM E1922 determines the translaminar fracture toughness KTL of laminated and pultruded polymer matrix composite materials. This test allows stable translaminar crack growth, which is essential for deciding translaminar crack toughness. The values expressed in SI units should be considered standard.

ASTM E1922 Translaminar Fracture Toughness of Polymers
Standard test method ASTM E1922 determines the translaminar fracture toughness KTL of laminated and pultruded polymer matrix composite materials. This test allows stable translaminar crack growth, which is essential for deciding translaminar crack toughness. The values expressed in SI units should be considered standard.
Scope:
The standard test method, Translaminar Fracture Toughness of Polymers ASTM E1922, is used to determine the parameter KTL under opening mode loading, which is a measure of a polymer matrix composite laminate’s resistance to notch-tip damage and effective translaminar crack propagation. KTL data is used to set material processing, component inspection criteria, test speed, and temperature. KTL data also determines the effects of fiber and matrix factors and the laminate stacking sequence on the specimen.
Procedure:
In the ASTM E1922 test, the specimen length is measured to the nearest 0.1 mm, thickness to 0.002 W, and width to 0.05 mm. Then the specimen is loaded at a pace that takes between 30 and 100 seconds from zero to peak load. Finally, a plot is made with a 0.7 to 1.5 plotting scale of load versus displacement. The test is repeated until the shipment reaches 50% of its maximum value.
Specimen size
For ASTM E1922 testing, the specimen width should be 0.015 W, and the length of the notch should be between 0.5 and 0.6 times the specimen width W.
where: K = applied stress intensity factor, P is the load, α = a/W (dimensionless), B is the specimen thickness, W is specimen width.
Conclusion:
The standard test method, Translaminar Fracture Toughness of Polymers ASTM E1922, is used to determine the parameter KTL under opening mode loading, which is a measure of a polymer matrix composite laminate’s resistance to notch-tip damage and effective translaminar crack propagation.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
