ASTM D3164 lap-shear sandwich testing method is intended to complement test method ASTM D1002 and test method ASTM D3163 and ASTM D3164 lap-shear sandwich testing method extend its application to single-lap-shear adhesive joints employing plastic adherends. ASTM D3164 method for single-lap tests may be used for comparing and selecting adhesives or bonding processes for susceptibility to fatigue and environmental changes; such comparisons using the ASTM D3164 method must be made with great care since different adhesives may respond differently in different joints.
ASTM D3164 lap-shear sandwich testing method is useful for generating comparative shear strength data for joints made from a number of plastics. ASTM D3164 lap-shear sandwich testing method can also provide a means by which several plastics surface treatments can be compared. ASTM D3164 lap-shear sandwich testing method is most appropriate for test temperatures below the softening point of the subject adherends.
