What is BS 5350-C15 - Methods of test for Adhesives about?
BS 5350-C15 describes a procedure for determining the bond strength of a double lap joint by subjecting the test piece to a compressive force.
BS 5350-C15 is applicable to all types of adhesive. Although primarily intended for use under ambient conditions, the basic method is also applicable to testing under a wide range of temperatures and other environmental conditions. The method requires rigid adherends produced to specified dimensional tolerances. This test is intended for ranking and quality control of adhesives and not for obtaining data for design Purposes.
NOTE The test may still be useful for research or control purposes even if the strength of the bond exceeds the strength of the adherend.
Who is BS 5350-C15 - Methods of test for Adhesives for?
BS 5350-C15 on methods of test for adhesives is useful for:
- Manufacturers of adhesives
- The Adhesive industry
- Testing laboratories
- Chemical Engineers
Why should you use BS 5350-C15 - Methods of test for Adhesives?
Compressive shear is a mode of application of a force in longitudinal compression that acts in the plane of the bond line.
BS 5350-C15 provides methods and procedures for determining the bond strength in compressive shear. The test method outlined in BS 5350-C15 helps in increasing the life of adhesives at different climatic conditions.
BS 5350-C15 provides you with apparatus, sampling, transport, storage, and preparation of test joints, pre-treatment of test pieces, test procedure, and much more.
Using BS 5350-C15 you can get help in determining the bond strength and can manufacture superior quality adhesives.
