ASTM C364

Designed in compliance with the ASTM C364 standard, this fixture is engineered for determining the edgewise compressive strength of structural sandwich constructions in the direction parallel to the sandwich facings. Fabricated from high-hardness steel with integrated positioning scales in both the width and thickness directions, it ensures convenient and accurate specimen centering. Available in two configurations — with spherical seating or for use with compression platens — to suit different testing requirements.

Overview

Designed in accordance with the ASTM C364 standard, this fixture is applicable for determining the compressive properties of structural sandwich constructions in the direction parallel to the sandwich facing planes.

Design Features and Benefits

• Fabricated from high-hardness steel for excellent resistance to deformation.
• Integrated positioning scales in both the specimen width and thickness directions ensure convenient and accurate specimen centering.

Applications

The sandwich panel is lightly clamped at both ends within the test fixture and subjected to a compressive force parallel to the plane of the facings. Through this test, the edgewise compressive strength of the sandwich construction under specified conditions can be determined, providing reliable data support for materials research and development, facing design, quality control, and product inspection.
