DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing

Overview

The International Standard describes a procedure: - to verify the degree of misalignment of the load train of the test machines using a reference test specimen uniformly loaded in tension or in compression; and - to give indications in order to correct defects such as torsion and bending. This International Standard is not intended to provide a quantitative and acceptable limit before the testing of ceramic matrix composites with a fibre reinforcement: unidirectional (1D), bidirectional (2D), and tridirectional (xD, with 2 < x ≤ 3) loaded along one principal axis of reinforcement. This limit depends on the sensitivity of each type of composite to the misalignment defect. The text of ISO 17161:2014 has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 206 "Fine ceramics" of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and adopted as EN ISO 17161:2016 by CEN/TC 184 "Advanced technical ceramics", the secretariat of which is held by DIN. The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 062-02-94 AA "Prüfung von Hochleistungskeramik - Keramische Verbundwerkstoffe" ("Testing of advanced technical ceramics - Ceramic composites") at DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing (NMP).
