I start a new tread or yarn on this.

I am going to prepare some strength test, but need initial still real world numbers on the strength on Carbon Fibre, like tensile strength, and e-modulus in a finished lamina with epoxy, on carbon fibre both uni. and bid, on most common fabric style, what ever that is :)
Hand layup numbers is ok. If you have any dry and "wet" numbers of thickness in relation to its weight per sq. area it will be perfect.

PSI is good enough. or if you use SI it is ok too. just tell what it is.

For those US readers, this info will be used before real testing of the material, and is not for any life hazardous design, so you don't need to think about your attorneys fee's.

I have Hollmann's book but not sure I trust that.
