Shear joints impose uniform stresses across the bond area which results in the highest possible joint strength. ASTM
D1002 is commonly performed to measure the shear strength of adhesives that are used to bond metals. This test is
similar to ASTM D3163 which is for adhesives that bond rigid plastic substrates, and also ASTM D3164 which is for plastic
adhesives that are used to bond both plastic and metal substrates. All three of these

Test Procedure:
1. Measure the amount of shear area in square inches or square centimeters.
2. Load each end of the specimen in the tensile grips.
3. Apply a force at a controlled rate to the specimen until it breaks and record the maximum force and type of joint
failure.
1. ASTM D1002 specifies a load control rate of 1,200 to 1,400 psi/minute. A cross head control rate of 0.05
inch/minute approximates the loading rate and also is an acceptable mode of control.

ADMET eXpert 2654 Universal Testing Machine with GW-50XT Wedge Grips
Test Report:
1. Maximum force
2. Maximum shear stress
1. Divide the maximum force by the shear area and report
in units of kilogram/square centimeter or psi.
3. Type of failure (separation from adhesive to substrate, separation through the adhesive, or both)
Equipment required:
1. Universal testing machine (tensile testing machine) with these minimum specifications:

2. Software or suitable electronics are required to operate the machine, report peak load, and provide a force /
displacement chart.
3. Grips: Vise grips with serrated inserts are commonly used for lap shear tests. The serrated grip inserts are designed to
dig into the material and prevent it from slipping. If slippage occurs with a vice grip, self-tightening grips of pneumatic
or wedge design may be used. The grip inserts should be aligned so that the centerline of the grip assembly is aligned
with the adhesive bond. Proper alignment is achieved with vice grips by adjusting the grip inserts from side to side so
that the center line of the upper and lower grips pass through the adhesive.
When using wedge grips that do not have the ability to offset the centerline, spacers are needed for a proper test.
