AS 1321.3-1976

Describes procedures for tensile shear tests and compressive shear tests on four types of test specimen, viz. lap joint specimen for close-contact assembly adhesives where it is difficult to obtain suitable veneers and only simple equipment is available; two-ply specimen suitable for close-contact assembly adhesives but requiring more sophisticated equipment and providing a higher degree of precision; specimen for testing gap-filling adhesives; and specimen for testing adhesives used in the production of panels such as plywood and particle board.
