Inserts in Thick CFRP Panels

[crostolo]

Hi and happy new year,

for a structural test campaign on a "thick" ( > 12 mm ) CFRP panel we are going to compare mechanical behaviour ( pull / push / shear / bending) on different types of inserts (keensert, kobserts and classic potted insert).

"Classic" potted inserts are the ones normally used for honeycomb panels (NAS1836 and similar). We are struggling to find:

- commercial reference standard
- retaillers (based in Europe)

for threaded metric inserts of that kind. Internet is plenty of information on UNJC threads but not on metric one.
Thanks in advance for any help, clue or tip on this subject

Perhaps just too quick since links mostly refers to keenserts (for which we have all the informations needed), while the question was for metric potted inserts. In any case thanks for the answer.
