This test method covers the determination of the comparative peel or stripping characteristics of adhesive bonds when tested on standard-sized specimens and under defined conditions of pretreatment, temperature, and testing machine speed. Typical results include "Average Load between 2 Points". This test can be performed on single column and dual column test frames.
Data Acquisition is very important in getting proper test results. We suggest choosing a system with a high enough data sampling rate to capture all the peaks and troughs of the test - otherwise you will get a lower average load result than you should. Also, ensure that the data sampling is uniform throughout the test. Another important factor is the data acquisition device's bandwidth: too low a bandwidth introduces noise into the test readings, while too high a bandwidth may "dull" the data readings resulting in missed peaks and troughs.
