Standard Test Method for
Strength Properties of Double Lap Shear Adhesive Joints by
Tension Loading1

This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3528; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of the last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

1. Scope

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the tensile
shear strengths of adhesives for bonding metals when tested in
an essentially peel-free standard specimen that develops adhesive stress distribution representative of that developed in a
typical low-peel production-type structural joint. The reproducibility of the strengths achieved are directly related to
conformance with specified conditions of preparation and
testing.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values given in parentheses are for information
only.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
