Aerospace series - Textile glass fibre preimpregnates - Test method for the determination of the content of volatile matter
General Information
Overview
EN 2330:1993 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the test method for determining the content of volatile matter in textile glass fibre preimpregnates used in the aerospace industry. Textile glass fibre preimpregnates, also known as prepregs, are composite materials where glass fibres are pre-impregnated with resin systems. Controlling the volatile matter content is crucial to ensure the quality and performance of aerospace components manufactured with these materials.
This standard provides a clear and reliable procedure to quantify volatile substances that may affect the curing process, mechanical properties, and long-term stability of aerospace composites. However, EN 2330 does not include specific health and safety guidelines - users must implement their own safety precautions when handling the materials and conducting tests.
