What is BS EN 1007-6 - Tensile properties of filaments about?   
BS EN 1007-6 is a European Standard. BS EN 1007-6 is the 6th part of BS EN 1007 series on advanced technical ceramic. BS EN 1007-6 specifies the methods of testing for reinforcements and determining tensile properties of filaments at high temperature.
BS EN 1007-6 includes two methods that are proposed. These methods depend on the temperature of the filament end. The methods are: 1. Hot End Method 2. Cold end method.
BS EN 1007-6 contains definitions, apparatus, test machine, methods, test specimens and procedures, and much more. BS EN 1007-6 also includes annexes which contain principles of methods.
Note 1: Current experience with the hot end method is limited to 1300 °C, because of the application temperature of ceramic glue.
Note 2: The cold end method is limited to 1 700 °C in air and 2 000 °C in inert atmosphere because of the limits of furnaces.
Who is BS EN 1007-6 - Tensile properties of filaments for?  
BS EN 1007-6 on advanced ceramic and ceramic composites is useful for:  
- Entities involved in Ceramic Research
- Steel Industries
- Electricity Supply Industries
- Manufacturers of Electrical Components and Parts

Why should you use BS EN 1007-6 - Tensile properties of filaments?   
Advanced ceramics have a diverse range of properties as well as uses. They also play a crucial role in the development of ventilators which makes it imperative to follow the best industry standards.
The methods included in BS EN 1007-6 applies to continuous ceramic filaments taken from tows, yarns, staple fibre, braids and knitting, that have strain to fracture less than or equal to 5% and show linear elastic behavior to fracture.
BS EN 1007-6 helps in the testing and determining advanced technical ceramic and ceramic composites. BS EN 1007-6 shall benefit the users to test the advanced ceramics effectively.
These materials are used in several industries that include electrical and medical industries. This makes is extremely important to ensure standardization of Advanced Ceramics. This can assure high durability and prevent hazards.
