CORE AND STRUCTURAL COORDINATION / FIELD NOTE 05
Core Cell Size in Aluminum Honeycomb Panels
Cell size is one attribute of the core. The same cell size can be supplied with different foil thicknesses, alloy and density. A comparison based on cell size alone leaves out the properties that govern the proposed panel.
What to check on your project
Ask each bidder for core density, cell geometry and the direction of any reported shear data. A submittal that substitutes a different core should identify the change and confirm whether the evidence for the panel still applies.
