The peel test
fixture consists of a flanged drum and flexible loading
straps or cables. A drum clamp is used to securely hold the
adherent against the face of the drum. The drum is balanced
about the axis using counter weights placed diametrically
opposed the drum clamp to compensate for the clamp mass.
Packaging
Includes
fixture and loading straps.
Applications
Used
to determine the resistance of joints to perpendicular peel
stresses on the adhesive layer. Applicable to the testing of
joints between an outer metal sheet and the core of sandwich
assemblies, e.g.: honeycomb or other forms of composites.
The adherents are separated steadily by the action of a
revolving drum which rotates by the application of a tensile
force from the associated testing machine. |
