Composite Materials Using a Sandwich Beam
This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5467/D 5467M; 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 (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

e NOTE—The designation of this standard was editorially corrected to be “combined” in September 2002, in accordance with
Part H of ASTM’s Form and Style for ASTM Standards. Additionally, the inch-pound values were editorially placed in brackets
instead of parentheses throughout, in accordance with Part H of ASTM’s Form and Style.
