ASTM D3163Standard Test Method for Determining Strength of Adhesively Bonded Rigid Plastic Lap-Shear Joints in Shear by Tension Loading
ASTM D3163 is a test method used to determine the single-lap shear adhesive joints of rigid plastic adherends. The test method is useful for generating comparative shear strength data for joints made from a number of plastics. It is intended to complement ASTM D1002, which specifies lap shear for metal to metal
Before conducting ASTM D3163, it is important to read the entire specification. Standards can be obtained from appropriate standard authorities.
