ISO 29863:2018

This document specifies a series of methods for the determination of the ability of a pressure sensitive tape to remain adhered under a constant load applied parallel to the surfaces of the tape and substrate.

This document contains:

— method A: Self adhesive tapes ? Measurement of shear adhesion to a vertical standard steel panel;

— method B: Self adhesive tapes ? Measurement of shear adhesion to a vertical panel covered with NIST SRM 1810A[1] standard fibreboard;

— method C: Self adhesive tapes ? Measurement of shear adhesion to a vertical panel covered with a fibreboard agreed upon by the buyer and seller;

— method D: Self adhesive tapes ? Measurement of shear adhesion of filament reinforced tape applied to a horizontal standard steel panel;

— method E: Self adhesive tapes ? Measurement of shear adhesion of filament reinforced tape applied to a horizontal panel covered with NIST SRM 1810A¹⁾ standard fibreboard;

— method F: Self adhesive tapes ? Measurement of shear adhesion of filament reinforced tape applied to a horizontal panel covered with a fibreboard agreed upon by the buyer and seller;

— method G: Self adhesive tapes ? Measurement of shear adhesion to a vertical standard steel panel at elevated temperature after a 10 min dwell time.
