1 Scope
This part of BS 5350 describes the method for testing adhesives using rigid adherends that can be produced
to the required dimensional tolerances and that will withstand the forces applied
to them. It is not normally applicable to the testing of joints between identical
pieces of wood for which there are other, specific, standards, but may be used where
wood is one adherend of an asymmetric assembly or where particular adhesives are not
catered for by the specific standards. The method described in this part of BS 5350 is applicable to all types of adhesive. Although primarily intended for use in normal
ambient conditions, the basic method is also applicable to testing under a wide range
of temperature and other environmental conditions.
No account is taken of other mechanical properties of the adhesives or adherends that
can affect the validity or usefulness of the test.
The use of a particular adherend to test an adhesive does not necessarily imply that
adhesive is the one most suitable for the adherend.
This method of test is intended for ranking and quality control of adhesives and not
for obtaining data for design purposes.
