ASTM D3410

Designed in compliance with the ASTM D3410 standard, this compression fixture is specifically engineered for unidirectional fiber-reinforced plastic flat specimens. Featuring a compact and lightweight design with an upper spherical seating for vertical load introduction, and wedge-shaped jaw faces with a large bevel angle for high clamping force at low torque. Compatible with a video extensometer for compressive modulus measurement, it provides reliable in-plane compressive property data for high-modulus fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites.

Overview

Designed in accordance with the ASTM D3410 standard for compression test specimen dimensions, this fixture is a dedicated compression fixture for unidirectional fiber-reinforced plastic flat specimens and is used in conjunction with compression platens.

Design Features and Benefits

• Compact and lightweight design.
• The upper loading head incorporates a spherical seating to ensure the test force is introduced vertically into the specimen.
• The large bevel angle of the wedge jaw faces allows the specimen to sustain a greater clamping force with a smaller tightening torque.
• The wedge-shaped jaw faces provide a higher clamping force on the specimen at a lower applied force.
• Compatible with a video extensometer for compressive modulus measurement.

Applications

• This fixture is primarily used to determine the in-plane compressive properties of high-modulus fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composite materials. When used in conjunction with a video extensometer, it enables the measurement of ultimate compressive strength, compressive strain, ultimate compressive strain, compressive chord modulus, and compressive Poisson's ratio. These data provide reliable support for materials research and development, facing design, quality control, and product inspection.
