ISO 14126 — In-plane compression testing of fibre-reinforced plastic composites

← Back to all standards

ISO 14126 specifies methods for the compressive properties of fibre-reinforced plastic composites. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 14126 Covers

It determines compressive strength and modulus of FRP laminates, addressing the buckling and load-introduction challenges specific to composite compression.

How the Test Is Run

A coupon is loaded in a compression fixture at a controlled rate with strain measurement to check for buckling, and the compressive properties are calculated.

Why It Matters

Compressive properties are essential for composite structural design; anti-buckling fixturing and accurate strain measurement are required.
