Unit of Competency | PMBTECH403B - Test fibre-composites materials and laminates |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This competency covers the knowledge and skill applied in testing fibre reinforced plastics materials and laminates for conformance with design and product quality specification. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | Application of this unitThis competency applies to technicians who will determine test specifications and carry out a variety of tests on fibre-composite materials and products according to industry codes of practice and AS/NZ standards. This competency is typically performed by technicians working either independently or as part of a work team.It includes:raw material applications (eg resin viscosity, specific gravity of resins and gelcoats, gel time, resin exotherm, monomer content, heat deflection temperature, styrene emission, resin colour, gelcoat water resistance)laminate applications (eg Barcol hardness, tensile strength and elongation, compressive strength, flexural strength and flexural modulus, impact strength, glass content, water absorption, product weathering capabilities, dielectric strength, flammability, acid and alkali resistance, thickness testing)test applications (eg comparing use of common resins and reinforcements in laminates, comparing the tensile strength of given laminates with metals, comparing test failure modes of laminate samples with metals). | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. |
