Description / Abstract:
This test method describes a lap shear test for use in measuring
the bonding characteristics of adhesives for joining fiber
reinforced plastics to themselves and to metals. The method is
applicable to random and fiber oriented FRP.
This test method is intended to complement Test Method D1002 and
extend the application to single-lap shear adhesive joints of
fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) adherends. This test method is
useful for generating comparative apparent shear strength data for
joints made from a number of FRP materials, providing a means by
which FRP surface treatments may be compared.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as
standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical
conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and
are not considered standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
