Hull Core Sampling and Consulting
ISO 10354 / ASTM D3762
We have the ability to take a small core sample from the transom, hull, decks, stringers and frames to test for Delamination and Core Separation.
Our custom processs uses the latest technology to assess the sample using the 'Wedge Test Force Machine for Composites" We use the ISO10354 and the ASTM D3762 standards for comparisons.
