ASTM F1648-95 (R2013) PDF Download

Archery bowstring Bow string materials are evaluated and purchased using test procedures outlined in the ASTM F1648-95 (R2013) standard.

These test procedures are designed to provide users with fundamental knowledge so they can assess and buy serving string materials. It should be emphasized that these approaches are not all-inclusive, as there can be unique situations that call for unconventional techniques of examination. These unique situations and their particular needs must be taken into account on a case-by-case basis.

The classification and testing of serving string, a component material used in the construction of archery bowstrings, are the subject of the standard. It should be noted that the information provided by these test techniques is limited to determining if the serving string material is suitable for use in the finished bowstring assembly.
