ASTM C273/C273MStandard Test Method for Shear Properties of Sandwich Core Materials
This test method is used to determine core shear properties of a sandwich construction material using loading plates bonded to the outer surfaces or skins (facesheets). The test is applicable for either continuous (foams) or discontinues bonding surfaces (honeycomb).
Before conducting ASTM C273, it is important to read the entire specification. Standards can be obtained from appropriate standard authorities.
