Carbon fibre — Determination of filament diameter and cross-sectional area

This document specifies five test methods used for the determination of the diameter and cross-sectional area of single carbon fibre filaments. The shape of the cross-section of the filaments from different suppliers can vary significantly. The term "diameter" used in this document applies to all cases, from a "true" diameter, where the filament is exactly circular in cross-section, to an "apparent" diameter where the filament is not circular. The methods proposed are not necessarily directly applicable to all types of filament. The product specification determines the method to be used. If there is no specification, the selection of the appropriate method is a matter of judgement. The details given here are considered to be sufficiently precise to enable this choice to be made.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11567:1995), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows.
a) Method E, Determination of the diameter by scanning electron microscopy, has been added.
b) The number of the test specimens in method A, method B, method C and method D has been
identified.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Carbon fibre — Determination of filament diameter and
cross-sectional area
1 Scope
This document specifies five test methods used for the determination of the diameter and cross-
sectional area of single carbon fibre filaments.
The shape of the cross-section of the filaments from different suppliers can vary significantly. The term
“diameter” used in this document applies to all cases, from a “true” diameter, where the filament is
exactly circular in cross-section, to an “apparent” diameter where the filament is not circular.
The methods proposed are not necessarily directly applicable to all types of filament. The product
specification determines the method to be used. If there is no specification, the selection of the
appropriate method is a matter of judgement. The details given here are considered to be sufficiently
precise to enable this choice to be made.
