|
3. Face Material: |
For both top and bottom face, material specified
in Section -2 shall be used. |
|
4. Sandwich Construction:
 |
:
i) Any sandwich bond line
shall not have voids greater than 6.35 mm (.25in) in the maximum
dimension. Inspection will be made on the peel test specimens.
ii)
In any 150 mm* 150 mm area (6 *6) 94 percent of bond line
shall be void free and shall be bonded to the core and
face sheets. Voids and bubbles less than 04 mm (1/6 in) shall be
disregarded. Inspection will be made on peel test specimens.
iii) Splices in the face material shall be
allowed only when specified in purchase order or in Engineering
Drawing. When splices are allowed; splice plates shall be
submerged and kept flush within 0.13 mm (0.005 in) across and
for full length of the splice. The splice plates shall be of
same thickness for the skin of splice. The Maximum gap at the
splice shall not exceed 0.13mm (0.05 in). The distance between a
splice in a top skin and a splice in a bottom skin shall not be
less than 305 mm (12 in) except when the splice in the top skin
runs perpendicular to the splice in bottom skin. The distance
from the long edge of the splice plate to the nearest panel edge
parallel to it shall not be less than 51 mm (2 in).
iv) The face of the panels shall be bonded to
core with hot cutting (65c to 70c) modified epoxy adhesive. |

5.3 Warpage : |
When tested in accordance with section 6-3 of the
panel shall not exceed 0.635 mm (0.025 in) per 305 mm (12in) of
panel length or width. |
|
5.4 Peel Strength : |

|
5.5 Resistance to Water Absorption : |
After immension in water in accordance with
Section 6.3 the minimum peel strength value shall not be less
than 70% of value reported in Section 5.4. |
|
5.6 Core Flatness : |
The test shall be carried in accordance with
ASTMC 366. The bonding face of the core shall be flush within
.5mm [.02in] across the splice for the full length of splice. |
|
5.7 Core Shear Strength : |
Test shall be carried out in accordance with
MIL-STD 401 core shear in bending. Use a span of 305 mm (12)
with quarter point loading.

5.8 Long Beam Bending : |
Test shall be carried out in accordance with
MIL-STD 401 Flexure of 508 mm [20] long specimen with quarter
point loading a cross head speed of 12.5mm [.5] /minute.
Specimen width shall be 76mm +_ 1.3mm (3+- 0.05).
b) Flexural Strength. Kg/cm2: 28.39
Lb/in2: 41*103 |
|
6. Material Test Methods : |
All tests are carried cut at ambient room
temperature [16c to 29c] |
|
6.1 Panel Weight : |
i) Weight the panel on a scale accurate to 4.5
gms (0.01-lb) and record the weight.
ii) Determine and record the area of the panel in mtr2(lb/ft2).
iii) Determine and record the weight in kg/mtr2 (lb/ft2). |
|
6.2 Warpage : |
i) Place the panel on flat, rigid surface with
concave side up.
ii) Place straight edge across the concave side of the panel,
from one edge to the other. The straight edge shall extent not
more than 1.3 kg[3bl] per 305 mm[12] of the panel width [the
dimension perpendicular to the edge of the straight edge]. |
|
6.3 Resistance to Water : |
i)
Five transverse and longitudinal each of peel test specimens (to
the dimension specified by ASTMD 1781) shall be submerged in
distilled water at 21C to 26.6 for 30 Days +- 2 hours. The depth
of the water above the specimen shall not be more than 25 mm
