Guide for Identification of Composite Materials in Computerized Material Property Databases. (Withdrawn 1999)

SCOPE
1.1 This guide establishes the essential and desirable elements of data required for the identification of composite materials in computerized material property databases. A recommended format for entry of these fields into a computerized database is also provided. Examples of the application of this guide are included for filament-wound polymer-matrix composites, laminar polymer-matrix composites, and ceramic-matrix composites. An example for metal-matrix composites is planned for the next revision.
1.2 The recommended format described in this document is suggested for use in recording data in a computerized database, which is different from contractual reporting of actual test results. The latter type of information is described in a materials specification or shown on business transactions, and is subject to agreement between vendor and purchaser.
1.3 This guide defines the information which is considered essential to uniquely describe a composite material. A format is recommended for placing these data in fields suitable for a computerized database. Additional fields which are considered desirable, but not essential, are also defined. The purpose is to facilitate efficient storage and retrieval of the information with a computer and to allow meaningful comparison of data from different sources.

This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6308; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
