The ASTM Brazilian disc graphite strength (splitting tensile strength, σsts) test method (ASTM D8289) is of interest because the small-specimen geometry is compatible with that of environmental effects specimens, thus allowing for environmental effects such as irradiation, irradiation creep, or oxidation on tensile strength to be investigated. The Brazilian disc strength of Mersen grade 2114 graphite is reported and compared with strength data previously obtained using larger cylindrical ASTM dog-bone specimens.
