SAE AMS 3892/2C:2016 PDF Download

The SAE AMS 3892/2C:2016 standard specifies the requirements for a specific type of carbon fibers used in structural composites. These carbon fibers are continuous multifilament fibers, which can be in the form of a tow or a twisted yarn. The weight per unit length of the tow or yarn depends on the filament count, which is determined by the supplier's grade or material designation.

The standard sets criteria specifically for carbon fibers with a tensile strength of 300 ksi (2068 MPa) and a tensile modulus of 50 Msi (345 GPa). These properties define the strength and stiffness of the carbon fibers, which are crucial in ensuring their suitability for use in structural composites.

By specifying the requirements for these carbon fibers, the standard provides manufacturers and users with a consistent basis for quality control and performance evaluation. Compliance with this standard ensures that the carbon fibers meet the necessary mechanical properties, allowing for successful integration into structural composites used in a variety of applications, such as aerospace, automotive, and sporting goods.
