scope:

This International Standard specifies the conditions for determination of tensile properties of ceramic matrix composite materials with continuous fibre reinforcement for temperatures up to 2 000 °C.

NOTE 1 In most cases, ceramic matrix composites to be used at high temperature in air are coated with an antioxidation coating.

NOTE 2 The purpose of this International Standard is to determine the tensile properties of a material when it is placed under an oxidizing environment but not to measure material oxidation.

This International Standard applies to all ceramic matrix composites with a continuous fibre reinforcement, unidirectional (1D), bi-directional (2D), and tri-directional (xD, with 2 < x ≤ 3), loaded along one principal axis of reinforcement.
