A new dual-layer carbon phenolic manufactured from a three dimensional woven substrate was tested in three arcjet facilities over a range of environments up to heat flux and pressure of approximately 6 kW/cm~2 at 5 bar. Sample geometries included both stagnation and wedge models. Based on property measurements and the observed material response, a mid-fidelity thermal response and ablation model was developed. The material and tests are described, and predictions of recession and temperature are compared with the arcjet test data.
