ASTM D3165 Test for Strength of Adhesives at Shear by Stress Loading of Single Lap Joint Laminated Assemblies

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D3165 testing. This standard is designed to determine the comparative shear strengths of adhesives in large area joints when tested on a single lap joint sample and under specified preparation and test conditions.

Adhesives react differently on small and large area joints.

Although this test method is designed for use in metal-to-metal applications, it can be used to measure the shear properties of adhesives using plastic adhesives, provided that the thickness and hardness of the plastic adhesives are given consideration. Folders or glued nails may be required for plastic adhesives to prevent bearing failure in adhesives.

This change is due to adhesive density, flow properties, cure rate, gel time, carrier composition, entrapped volatiles, volatiles released during curing, etc. and also by curing cycle variables including temperature, time, pressure, rate of rise. Depending on temperature, cooling rate, etc. it depends. In addition to processing variables, joint size changes the level of restraint on the adhesive as well as the effect of tensile loads induced at the edge of the joint during mechanical or thermal loading.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. Values ​​in parentheses are for informational purposes only.
