Examination of Blistering of Fiberglass Reinforced Laminates

Abstract

Four non-destructive testing devices were used on 21 fiberglass laminated test panels prepared by boat companies and material suppliers. Each set of panels had been formulated using (1) normal layup, (2) excess catalyst, (3) deficient catalyst, (4) low temperature cure, and (5) excess water in fiberglass. The four testing devices were (1) ultrasonic inspection, (2) dielectric moisture detector, (3) neutron source device, and (4) thermography IR detector. (kt)
