BS EN 13706-3:2002

This standard BS EN 13706-3:2002 Reinforced plastics composites. Specifications for pultruded profiles is classified in these ICS categories:

• 83.120 Reinforced plastics

1.1 This Part 3 of EN 13706 specifies the specification of pultruded profiles. The specification defines those properties, which shall be specified and the level to be obtained for each grade of profile.

1.2 The specification specifies grades where the short-form code, Exx, is related to the Effective Flexural Modulus of the profile measured by testing a length of the complete profile.

Two grades; E23 and E17 are defined.

NOTE Other grades can be introduced at future revisions of the standard.

1.3 The properties, that shall be achieved for each class of profile are given in Table 1. Other properties that can be reported are listed in Table 2.

1.4 Test methods to be used to determine properties related to the suitability of the profile for specific applications are referenced in clause 4.
