What is ISO 10119 about?
ISO 10119 is an international standard on carbon fibre which covers its determination of density.
ISO 10119 specifies four methods for the determination of the density of carbon fibre tested as a yarn:
Method A: liquid-displacement method
Method B: sink/float method
Method C: density-gradient column method
Method D: gas pycnometer method.
Gas pycnometer method uses inert gas instead of liquids to measure the volume of fibres, powders, and cellular materials so as to obtain the density. The method gives a much higher resolution (i.e., a factor of 100 times better).
Who is ISO 10119 for ?
ISO 10119 on the density of carbon fibre is relevant to:
Manufacturer of carbon fibre
Automobiles and sporting goods industry
Aerospace and medical industry
Why should you use ISO 10119 ?
Density is a parameter that characterizes the basic physical properties of carbon fibre and is also an important parameter for calculating the tensile strength and tensile modulus of carbon fibre.
