Aerospace series - Glass fibre reinforced plastics - Tensile test
General Information
Overview
EN 2747:1998 (CEN) - Aerospace series - Glass fibre reinforced plastics - Tensile test - specifies a method for the determination of tensile properties of glass fibre reinforced plastics (GFRP) intended for aerospace applications. The standard is part of the European aerospace series and is used to ensure repeatable, documented tensile-property measurements on composite materials used in aircraft and space structures.
Key Topics
While the full text of EN 2747 contains the official procedures, tensile-test standards for aerospace GFRP typically address the following technical topics:
- Scope and applicability for glass fibre reinforced plastics in aerospace components.
- Specimen preparation and identification, including fiber orientation considerations and acceptable specimen types.
- Environmental conditioning and pre-test handling to ensure consistent, comparable results.
- Test equipment and calibration requirements for tensile machines and grips to prevent damage or slippage.
- Test procedure and data acquisition, specifying how load and extension are measured.
- Calculated tensile properties, commonly including tensile strength, tensile modulus, and elongation at break, and how results are reported.
- Test report content and traceability, which supports quality assurance and regulatory compliance.
(These topics reflect common elements found in tensile test methods for composites and align with the standard’s objective to define a reproducible test method for aerospace-grade GFRP.)
Applications
EN 2747 is intended for professionals and organizations involved in the design, manufacture, testing and certification of aerospace composite materials:
- Aerospace materials engineers and designers selecting GFRP for structural or secondary components.
- Test laboratories performing mechanical characterization of composite laminates.
- Quality assurance and certification bodies requiring documented tensile property data for compliance.
- Suppliers and manufacturers of GFRP materials and prepregs who need to demonstrate performance to aerospace customers.
- Research and development teams validating process changes, resin systems, or fibre architectures.
Using EN 2747 helps ensure consistent tensile-property data for material selection, structural analysis, damage assessment and supplier qualification in aerospace programmes.
Related Standards
EN 2747 is part of a broader set of composite testing and aerospace material standards. Organizations commonly pair it with other EN and ISO composite test methods (tensile, flexural, shear, interlaminar) and aerospace material quality standards to build a full test matrix for certification and design input.
