**What is BS EN 2850-Carbon thermosetting resin unidirectional laminates about?**

BS EN 2850 is a standard that serves technical specifications for carbon thermosetting resin unidirectional laminates, ensuring structural stability and integrity in aerospace applications.

BS EN 2850 defines a method for determining stress at failure and Young's modulus in compression of carbon thermosetting resin unidirectional laminates. BS EN 2850 method only covers test pieces, the axis of which is parallel to the fibre direction.

BS EN 2850 method covers fibres (or fabrics) other than carbon when the relevant technical specification explicitly mentions it.

**Who is BS EN 2850-Carbon thermosetting resin unidirectional laminates for?**

BS EN 2850 on carbon thermosetting resin unidirectional laminates applies to:

Manufacturers of laminating resins for aerospace applications
Dealers and importers of laminating resins for aerospace applications
Testing houses and labs for laminating resins
Inspection services in the aerospace industry

**Why should you use BS EN 2850-Carbon thermosetting resin unidirectional laminates?**

Uni-directional laminates are reinforced-plastic structures having parallel fibres. With its superior mechanical qualities and lightweight, carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are used in various engineering applications.

BS EN 2850 provides users guidance on designation, test pieces, apparatus, conditioning, procedure, calculation of results, validity and test report ensuring the accuracy of the method to determine the longitudinal strain of the material.

BS EN 2850 provides users guidance on two compression tests on carbon thermosetting resins uni-directional laminates. BS EN 2850 also provides you with a step-by-step procedure for the technique, enabling you to do the method correctly.

The adoption of BS EN 2850 allows users to compression testing on carbon thermosetting resin uni-directional laminates, ensuring operability and longevity in aerospace applications.
