Designation:E 1309 00Standard Guide forIdentification of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer-Matrix CompositeMaterials in Databases1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 1309;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide establishes essential and desirable data ele-ments for fiber-reinforced composite materials for two pur-poses:to establish the material identification component ofdata-reporting requirements for test reporting and to provideinformation for the design of material property databases.1.1.1 This guide is the first part of a two-part modularapproach.The first part serves to identify the material and thesecond part serves to describe testing procedures and variablesand to record results.1.1.2 For mechanical testing,the related document is GuideE 1434.The interaction of this guide with Guide E 1434 isemphasized by the common numbering of data elements.DataElements A1 through G13 are included in this guide,andnumbering of data elements in Guide E 1434 begins with H1for the next data element block.This guide is most commonlyused in combination with a guide for reporting the testprocedures and results such as Guide E 1434.1.2 These guidelines are specific to fiber-reinforcedpolymer-matrix composite materials.Composite materials,which also contain particulates or precipitated particles,arealso included provided they can be described adequately as afiller in the matrix.1.3 The data elements described in this guide are suggestedfor use in recording data in a computerized database,which isdifferent from contractual reporting of test results.The lattertype of information is described in the material specification orshown in business transactions and is subject to agreementbetween the vendor and the user.1.4 This guide defines the information that is consideredessential to uniquely describe a composite material.Additionaldata elements that are considered desirable,but not essential,are also defined.The purpose is to facilitate efficient storageand retrieval of information with a computer and to allow themeaningful comparison of data from different sources.1.5 This guide with Guide E 1434 may be referenced by thedata reporting section of a test method to provide common datareporting requirements for mechanical tests of high-modulusfiber-reinforced polymer-matrix composite materials.Thisguide may also be useful for additional tests,for materialidentification for databases at the property levels or for otheruses of material identification of composite materials.1.6 From this information and a guide such as GuideE 1434,the database designer should be able to construct thedata dictionary preparatory to developing a database schema.1.7 Data elements in this guide are relevant to test data,dataas obtained in the test laboratory and historically recorded inlaboratory notebooks.Property data,data that have beenanalyzed and reviewed,require a different level of dataelements.Data elements for property data are provided inAnnex A1.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:C 274 Terminology of Structural Sandwich Constructions2D 790 Test Methods for Flexural Properties of Unreinforcedand Reinforced Plastics and Electrical Insulating Materi-als3D 1600 Terminology for Abbreviated Terms to Plastics3D 3410/D 3410M Test Method for Compressive Propertiesof Polymer Matrix Composite Materials with UnsupportedGage Section by Shear Loading2D 3878 Terminology for High-Modulus Reinforcing Fibersand Their Composites2D 5467 Test Method for Compressive Properties of Unidi-rectional Polymer Matrix Composites Using a SandwichBeam2D 6507 Practice for the Fiber Reinforcement OrientationCodes for Composite Materials2E 6 Terminology Relating to Methods of Mechanical Test-ing4E 1013 Terminology Relating to Computerized Systems5E 1308 Guide for Identification of Polymers(ExcludingThermoset Elastomers)in Computerized Material PropertyDatabases5E 1338 Guide for Identification of Metals and Alloys inComputerized Material Property Databases5IEEE/ASTM SI 10 Standard for Use of the International1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D-30 on CompositeMaterials and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D30.01 on ReferenceStandards.Current edition approved March 10,2000.Published April 2000.Originallypublished as E 1309 92.Last previous edition E 1309 92.2Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 15.03.3Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 08.01.4Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 03.01.5Annual Book of ASTM Standards,Vol 14.01.1Copyright ASTM,100 Barr Harbor Drive,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959,United States.System of Units(SI):The Modern Metric System6E 1434 Guide for the Development of Standard DataRecords for Computerization of Mechanical Test Data forHigh-Modulus F
