SAE AMS 3892/5C:2016 PDF Download

SAE AMS 3892/5C:2016 is a standard that specifies the requirements for carbon fibers used in structural composites. Specifically, it focuses on a type of continuous multifilament carbon fibers, which can be in the form of a tow or yarn (when twisted). The weight per unit length of the tow or yarn is determined by the filament count, which is identified by the supplier's grade or material designation.

The standard sets out the specifications for the tensile strength and tensile modulus of the carbon fibers. The tensile strength is defined as the maximum stress that the fibers can withstand before breaking, while the tensile modulus is a measure of the fibers' stiffness. These properties are crucial for evaluating the suitability of the carbon fibers for structural composites, as they need to withstand high loads and provide the necessary strength and durability.
