EN 2850 is the aerospace-series test method for the compressive stress at failure and compressive modulus of composite laminates. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What EN 2850 Covers
It determines the compression strength and stiffness of aerospace composite coupons under the European aerospace framework.
How the Test Is Run
A coupon is loaded in a compression fixture at a controlled rate with strain measurement to confirm no buckling, and the compressive stress at failure and modulus are calculated.
Why It Matters
Compression data is central to aerospace composite qualification; anti-buckling fixturing and strain measurement are essential.
Reading the Designation
Cited as EN 2850 with its edition. Confirm the version and specimen or fixture requirements before finalizing setup. To configure a composite testing setup, request a quote.
Related Standards
ISO 14126 and ASTM D3410 are general composite compression methods.
