ASTM D3914 testing is used to measure the in-plane shear strength of pultruded, glass-fiber reinforced, thermosetting plastic rod in diameters ranging from 19 to 32 mm (¾ to 1 ¼ in.).
Shear tests of various kinds are widely used in the reinforced plastics industry to assess the strength of the reinforcement-to-resin bond in polyester-, vinyl ester-, and epoxy-resin composites.
Properties determined from this test may be used for quality control, research and development, and specification purposes.
Please email info@trl.com or call (304) 547-5800 for information regarding test procedures, results, specimen information, pricing or any other ASTM D3914 questions you may have.
