Units
Condition
- Condition
- T6T 262-12F 550 source prepreg system represented by ICAN model 6
- Temper
- not applicable
- Heat treatment
- 120 degC cure temperature reported; detailed cure schedule not supplied
- Product form
- continuous-fiber ply model for a source [+-45_2]s prepreg laminate
- Thickness / diameter range
- source laminate total 1 mm; model 6 is marked four-ply; individual exact-system ply thickness is not established
- Test direction
- ply transverse tensile prediction
- Processing route
- source laminates preconditioned to minimize moisture, then represented by generic ICAN constituents
- Temperature range
- -155.0 ... 95.0 degC
- Notes
- NASA-TM-87334 identifies the source material as T6T 262-12F 550 with T300-6000 fiber, Hexcel F550 resin, 60 percent fiber volume and 120 degC cure. It explicitly states that trade-name systems were estimated using existing generic ICAN constituents; model 6 is T300/HMHS and uses a four-ply configuration. The three transverse strengths are therefore NASA computational approximations for preliminary screening, not measured F550 values, supplier guarantees or qualification allowables.
