ASTM D2339Standard Test Method for Strength Properties of Adhesives in Two-Ply Wood Construction in Shear by Tension Loading
By the nature of the way adhesives are used in two-ply wood construction, shear strength is an important performance criteria. Shear strength measured by this test method 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 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.
