This video shows an example of a Rubber Property Test - Adhesion to Flexible Substrate as specified in ASTM D413 (D 413) & ASTM D378 (D 378)
Requirements for Type A Test - 180 degree peel
1) Sample size: 25mm wide, 150mm long, separate layers enough to fit in grips.
2) Universal testing machine (tension / tensile testing machine) accurate to with +/- 1% of speed and load measurements. We used our eXpert 7601.
3) Tensile grips - hold specimen and prevent slipping during test. This test used vise grips with serrated inserts.
