1 Each facing includes two layers of 7781 fiberglass cloth. Different facing thicknesses are available upon request.
2 Long Beam Bending was tested and Facesheet Ultimate Strength was calculated per ASTM D7249. Specimens were tested with 4-point bending configuration (4” loading span and 22” support span).
3 Short Beam Shear was tested and Core Shear Ultimate Strength was calculated per ASTM C393. Specimens were tested with 3-point bending configuration (6” support span).
4 Core Compression was tested and calculated per ASTM C365.
5 In-Plane Panel Shear specimens were tested per ASTM D8067.
