ISO 11566 — Carbon fibre single-filament tensile properties

← Back to all standards

ISO 11566 is the test method for the tensile properties of single carbon-fibre filaments. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 11566 Covers

It provides filament-level tensile data rather than yarn- or laminate-level results, taken from carbon-fibre products such as multifilament yarns.

How the Test Is Run

A single filament is mounted on a tab, gripped, and pulled to failure at a controlled rate, and the tensile strength and modulus are calculated from the filament cross-section.

Why It Matters

Filament-level data characterizes fibre quality for composites; sensitive load measurement, careful mounting, and precise alignment are essential.
