ASTM C393: Standard Test Method for Core Shear Properties of Sandwich Constructions by Beam Flexure

 This test method covers determination of the properties of flat sandwich constructions subjected to flatwise flexure in such a manner that the applied moments produce curvature of the sandwich facing planes.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The inch-pound units given may be approximate.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
