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.
