1、Designation:C366/C366M16Standard Test Methods forMeasurement of Thickness of Sandwich Cores1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C366/C366M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A nu
2、mber in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 These test methods cover plant manufacturing proce-dure
3、s for measuring the thickness of flat sandwich cores.Permissible core material forms include those with continuousbonding surfaces(such as balsa wood and foams)as well asthose with discontinuous bonding surfaces(such as honey-comb).The two test methods covered include the following:1.1.1 Test Method
4、 ARoller-Type Thickness Tester.1.1.2 Test Method BDisk-Type Thickness Tester.NOTE1These test methods are designed for measuring thickness ofcore as it is produced and are not intended for use in determiningdimensions of core specimens for other tests.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-
5、pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.2.1 Within the text the inch-pound uni

12、 the tester,and measuring the corethickness by sliding the core underneath the tester.Proceduresare provided for thickness measurement using both roller-typeand disk-type thickness testers.5.Significance and Use5.1 Normally,a close tolerance is desirable for core thick-ness so that sandwich panels m
