ASTM D906-98Standard Test Method for Strength Properties of Adhesives in Plywood Type Construction in Shear by Tension Loading
The way adhesives are used in plywood makes shear strength an important performance criteria. Shear strength measured by this test is suitable for use in adhesive development, manufacturing quality control, and in materials performance specifications. This test method covers the determination of the comparative shear strengths of adhesives in plywood-type construction, when tested on a standard specimen and under specified conditions of preparation, conditioning, and testing. This test method is intended to be applied only to adhesives used in bonding wood to wood.
