EN 13473-3:2001 - Reinforcement - Specifications for multi-axial multi-ply fabrics - Part 3: Specific requirements

Overview

SIST EN 13473-3:2002 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies the specific requirements for multi-axial multi-ply fabrics used as reinforcements in composite materials. These fabrics consist of multiple plies or layers made from reinforcement yarns, tows, rovings, fiber fleeces, films, foams, or other components bound into a multi-ply construction. The standard is focused on defining the parameters required for specific applications or manufacturing processes, ensuring quality and performance consistency in composite reinforcement textiles.

Unlike setting absolute or nominal values, SIST EN 13473-3:2002 emphasizes defining parameters based on the intended application, supported by precise testing methods. Textile manufacturers are responsible for controlling key parameters, contributing to reliable production that meets technical needs.

Key Topics

  • Parameter Classification
    Parameters are divided into three groups, each with distinct designation and control requirements:

    • Group 1: Parameters to be designated and controlled by the manufacturer, including:
      • Total mass per unit area (including binding system)
      • Fabric width and length (on the roll)
      • Roll weight (net)
      • Defects as specified by relevant test methods
    • Group 2: Parameters to be designated but not controlled, such as:
      • Designation code
      • Special handling and storage instructions
      • Manufacturer’s production and traceability references
    • Group 3: Optional parameters neither designated nor controlled by default but can be agreed upon, e.g., filament diameter, sizing, or finish.

  • Test Methods
    EN 13473-3 references well-established international standards for testing, including:

    • ISO 3374 for determining mass per unit area
    • ISO 5025 for fabric width and length measurements
    • EN 13473-2 for defect identification and classification

  • Tolerance Levels
    Tolerances are specified to ensure quality control, typically including:

    • ±5% for total mass per unit area and roll weight
    • ±2% for fabric width and length
    • Defect limits based on points per fabric length

  • Technical Specification Development
    The standard guides the development of a technical specification tailored to the application, highlighting the need for agreed-upon parameters and potential deviations for special applications.

Applications

SIST EN 13473-3:2002 is essential for manufacturers and users of multi-axial multi-ply fabrics in various composite industry sectors, including:

  • Wind Energy
    For windmill rotor blades, multi-axial fabrics provide targeted reinforcement, enhancing strength and durability while meeting strict design specifications.

  • Aerospace and Automotive
    Lightweight, high-performance composites require precise reinforcement fabrics to achieve required mechanical properties and manufacturing predictability.

  • Construction and Civil Engineering
    Reinforced composites contribute to building materials where multi-axial fabrics improve load distribution and structural integrity.

  • Marine Industry
    Fabrics adhering to this standard help produce composite components resistant to stress and environmental factors found in maritime environments.

Related Standards

  • EN 13473-1: Designation
    Defines the system for naming and describing multi-axial multi-ply fabrics.

  • EN 13473-2: Methods of Test and General Requirements
    Provides the testing procedures and general technical criteria for these reinforcement fabrics.

  • ISO 472: Plastics Vocabulary
    Offers standardized terminology used throughout EN 13473 series.

  • ISO 3374: Determination of Mass per Unit Area of Reinforcement Products
    Standardized method applied within EN 13473-3 for mass measurement.

  • ISO 5025: Measurement of Woven Fabric Width and Length
    Provides the test methods for dimensional control of fabric rolls.

By adhering to SIST EN 13473-3:2002, manufacturers and users of multi-axial multi-ply fabrics can ensure the consistency, performance, and traceability of reinforcement textiles used in critical composite applications, supporting innovation and quality assurance in advanced materials engineering.
