DIN EN 1007-6:2008-02

This European Standard specifies the conditions for measurement of tensile properties of single filament of ceramic fibres at high temperature in air or inert atmosphere (vacuum or controlled atmosphere). The method applies to continuous ceramic filaments taken from tows, yarns, staple fibre, braids and knitting, which have strain to fractureless or equal to 5 % and show linear elastic behaviour to fracture. The method does not apply to testing for homogeneity of strength properties of fibres, nor to assess the effects of volume under stress. Statistical aspects of fibre failure are not included.
