Description
This NEW Composite Training and Testing Flawed Specimen Kit is the premier introduction tool for the world of composites with multiple thicknesses of carbon fiber, types of cores and typical flaws found in composite manufacturing. This kit was designed and manufactured with input from industry SME experts and was vetted using a Beta model process with feedback from the reviewers to finalize this kit into its current form. A first for our industry.
The Kit exposes the trainee or technician to a wide range of various composite scenarios. There are 8 Individual Specimens with one to three flaw each. Flaws range from Wrinkles, Voids, Foreign Materials, Delaminations, and Dis-bonds. Carbon Fiber Laminate thickness ranges from 0.25” to 0.75” and Cores from 0.75” to 1.00”. Cores include Aluminum Honeycomb, Cardboard Honeycomb, Foam and Balsa. It also comes with our complete document package included.
