Determining the bond strength of coatings such as plastic welding, metal plating, and thermal spray coatings, is an essential aspect of assessing the products’ overall quality. Peel testing adhesion bond strength is done to understand the strength of the adhesion coating to the second material. For example, the clothing industry tests the bonding strength of…

ISO 9073 series of standards defines properties of Non wovens as below parts: 5 Important tests to the end use applications Nonwovens testing of physical and mechanical properties are essential to determining their end-use applications. For example, if a nonwoven has high absorptive capacity, it could potentially be used in an advanced wound care application,…

7.3 Micrometer, for measurement of specimen thickness. Ensure that the accuracy is 1 % of the average thickness of the specimens used. See Test Methods D5947 for descriptions of suitable micrometers.

5 Apparatus5.1 Compressive testing machine, capable of a constant rate of crosshead movement, via a pair ofparallel plates (5.2), as appropriate to the nominal diameter of the pipe in conformance with Table 1, withsufficient force and travel to produce the specified diametric deflection (see Clause 8). 5.2 A pair of hard and rigid plates, through…

5 Apparatus5.1 Loading deviceA suitable device for applying the load is a lever-arm loading machine with an arm ratio between 4:1 and 10:1. A typical example of such a device is shown in Figure 2. The lever-arm ratio R is equal to L1/L2. When the lever-arm is fitted with the top specimen grip and the…

4 Principle A test specimen having a specified precut slit is subjected to a tearing force generated by the energy stored in a pendulum of specified dimensions. The energy expended in tearing the specimen is used to calculate the tear resistance of the specimen. 5 Apparatus The test machine shall be of the Elmendorf type…
