We all know the desired ratios of CF to resin and we know the achievable ratios differ between hand layup/vacuum bagging, and Resin Infusion... but what is the ideal and actually achievable ratio for Soric/Resin when done as part of a Resin Infusion that has CF skins? Are there any good published data for Soric/Resin design ratios?

My experiments only differed by 5% and were within 10% of the data from my supplier. Lrc1.5 took a little less resin, lrc3 a little more and sf3 a little less in my setup. 5 repetitions per material.

It would be hard to work out an exact figure in that sense. You can calculate the rough panel weight by adding the weight of the soric and the resin uptake to get a core weight.

Of course there is. The resin uptake for soric is very well documented. Here the numbers out of my main supplier's catalogue, wich are within +-10% to my experiments: Resin uptake in kg/m^2: Sf2mm: 1...

oekmont, Thank you for your very useful information. I will use this data to calculate the cured weight of the items I will make as a part of my UAV monocoque. Naturally, I am trying to design the...

Oakemont, we actually got a quite a variety of resin uptake figures for soric in our own testing and calculating from customers figures - with the manufacturers quoted figure being fairly conservativ...
