ASTM D7332/D7332M-22

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation: D7332/D7332M − 16 D7332/D7332M − 22
Standard Test Method for
Measuring the Fastener Pull-Through Resistance of a
1
Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composite
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7332/D7332M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the
year of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last
reapproval. A superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method determines the fastener pull-through resistance of multidirectional polymer matrix composites reinforced by
high-modulus fibers. Fastener pull-through resistance is characterized by the force-versus-displacement response exhibited when
a mechanical fastener is pulled through a composite plate, with the force applied perpendicular to the plane of the plate. The
composite material forms are limited to continuous-fiber or discontinuous-fiber (tape or fabric, or both) reinforced composites for
which the laminate is symmetric and balanced with respect to the test direction. The range of acceptable test laminates and
thicknesses is defined in 8.2.
1.2 Two test procedures and configurations are provided. The first, Procedure A, is suitable for screening and fastener development
purposes. The second, Procedure B, is configuration-dependent and is suitable for establishing design values. Both procedures can
be used to perform comparative evaluations of candidate fasteners/fastener system designs.
1.3 The specimens described herein may not be representative of actual joints which may contain one or more free edges adjacent
to the fastener, or may contain multiple fasteners that can change the actual boundary conditions.
1.4 This test method is consistent with the recommendations of CMH-17, which describes the desirable attributes of a fastener
pull-through test method.
1.5 Units—The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in
each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system mustshall be
used independently of the other. Combiningother, and values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the
standard.shall not be combined.
1.5.1 Within the text, the inch-pound units are shown in brackets.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety safety, health, and healthenvironmental practices and determine the
applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization
established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued
by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
