ASTM C363
Engineered in strict accordance with ASTM C363, our node tensile strength fixture is designed to evaluate the adhesive strength of honeycomb core nodes under uniaxial tension. Featuring an adjustable upper alignment mechanism to ensure perfect loading axis concentricity, it transmits force uniformly through precision pins inserted into the honeycomb cells. Capable of handling loads up to 10 kN and operating in extreme temperatures (-70 to 300 °C), this robust steel fixture provides critical node strength data essential for quality control, material acceptance, and R&D of advanced sandwich structures in the aerospace and automotive industries.
Overview
Engineered in strict accordance with the ASTM C363 standard, this fixture is designed to determine the node tensile strength of honeycomb core materials. It evaluates the adhesive strength of the nodes when subjected to uniaxial tensile loads parallel to the honeycomb plane. The load is transmitted to the honeycomb core via pins inserted through multiple rows of cells at the top and bottom of the specimen. By applying a tensile load at a specified rate until the specimen tears completely or exhibits an unacceptable failure mode, this fixture provides critical node tensile strength data for quality control, material acceptance, and advanced research and development.
