ASTM D1876 Peel Resistance of Adhesives (T-Peel Test)
ASTM D1876 is a test method that determines the peel resistance of adhesives. The substrates are cut and the adhesive is applied to one of the substrates while the other substrate is placed on top, forming a T-shaped configuration. The adhesive is then allowed to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions before testing.
GET STARTED
Introduction to ASTM D1876
ASTM D1876 is a standard test method that measures the peel resistance of an adhesive bond. The test method is also known as the T-peel test as it involves separating two bonded substrates in a T-shaped configuration. The test determines the force required to peel the bonded substrates apart and is used to evaluate the strength and quality of adhesive bonds. The results obtained through this method are especially used for quality control, reliability check, performance evaluation, and specification purposes.
By following the ASTM D1876 test method, manufacturers and users of adhesives can make informed decisions about the suitability of an adhesive for a specific application and ensure that they meet the necessary specifications for their intended use.
ASTM D1876 Test Method
The test method ASTM D1876 involves the following two steps:
Preparing Substrate
The method proceeds by cutting two bonded substrates, typically made of metal or plastic, into a T-shaped configuration. One substrate is clamped in a stationary grip and the other is clamped in a movable grip. The movable grip is then pulled away from the stationary grip at a constant rate until the bond between the two substrates fails.
Applying Tensile Load
The tensile load is applied to the free end of the flexible substrates at a specified rate until the bond fails. The force required to peel the substrates apart is recorded and used to calculate the peel strength.
ASTM D1876 Specimens
Specimen details
The specimens used in the ASTM D1876 test method are T-shaped configurations made of two bonded substrates. The substrates are typically made of metal or plastic and are bonded together using an adhesive.
Specimen dimensions
The acceptable specimen width for ASTM D1876 is 1 inch however the size and thickness of the specimens can vary depending on the application and adhesive being tested.
Specimen preparation
To prepare the specimen for testing, the two substrates are cleaned and dried to remove any contaminants or debris that could affect the bond strength.
ASTM D1876 Results
The results of the ASTM D1876 test method are reported as the average peel strength of the adhesive bond. The peel strength is calculated by dividing the force required to peel the substrates apart by the width of the bonded area. The results are used to evaluate the strength and quality of the adhesive bond and to ensure that it meets the necessary specifications for its intended use.
Tests related to ASTM D1876 ASTM D1876 is related to several other ASTM standards that measure the properties of adhesives and adhesive bonds. These standards include ASTM D903 for tensile properties of adhesive bonds and ASTM D3167 for floating roller peel resistance of adhesives. These tests are commonly used in conjunction with the ASTM D1876 test method to fully evaluate the properties of adhesives and adhesive bonds.
