Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical ceramics) - Mechanical properties of ceramic composites at room temperature - Determination of flexural strength (ISO 17138:2025)
This document specifies a test method for the determination of the flexural strength of ceramic matrix composite materials with continuous fibre reinforcement, under three-point or four-point bend at room temperature. This document is applicable to all ceramic matrix composites with a continuous fibre reinforcement, unidirectional (1D), bidirectional (2D), and tridirectional xD with (2 < x ≤ 3) as defined in ISO 19634, loaded along one principal axis of reinforcement.

Céramiques techniques - Propriétés mécaniques des composites céramiques à température ambiante - Détermination de la résistance en flexion (ISO 17138:2025)
L'ISO 17138:2014 décrit une méthode permettant de déterminer la résistance en flexion des matériaux composites à matrice céramique et à renforts de fibres continus par un essai de flexion en trois ou quatre points à température ambiante. Cette méthode s'applique à tous les composites à matrice céramique à renforts de fibres continus, unidirectionnels (1D), renforcés dans le plan (2D) et multidirectionnels xD avec (2 < x ≤ 3), conformément au CEN/TR 13233, sollicités suivant un axe principal de renfort.

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 document 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).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
