Compression of Composites ASTM D3410 uniform 140 mm to155 mm (5.5 in to 6
rectangular in) long. The recommended
cross section width can be 12 mm (0.5 in) or
25 mm (1 in). A variety of
thicknesses can be
accommodated.
Tensile Testing Composite ASTM D3039 uniform 25 mm (1 in) wide and 250 mm
rectangular (10 mm) long. Optional tabs can
cross section be bonded to the ends of the
specimen to prevent gripping
damage.

constant rate specimen is not available,
alternative specimen sizes may
be used.
