ISO 15109 pdf download.Adhesives — Determination of the time to rupture of bonded joints under static load
1 Scope
This International Standard describes a procedure for the determination of the time to failure of a bonded joint, using a specimen which is statically loaded under specified conditions. This method can only be used for comparing adhesives, and the results cannot be used for design purposes.

3 Principle
The time to rupture of a bonded lap-shear specimen is measured under a specific load.
4 Apparatus
4.1 Test rig, capable of holding specimens securely at one end, in the vertical position, the other end of each specimen being linked to a fixture capable of receiving different weights in order to vary the load. The direction of the load shall coincide with the longitudinal axis of the specimen. The rig shall be capable of loading several specimens simultaneously. It shall be designed such that any vibration associated with breakage of one specimen will not influence the remaining specimens. The rig shall be placed in an environmentally controlled cabinet or be designed such that the specimens are tested under controlled conditions.
5 Specimens
5.1 Adherend material The adherends shall be made of metal, rigid plastic, rigid fibre-reinforced plastic, wood or wood-based material. 5.2 Shape and dimensions Specimens shall be as shown in figure 1 for all materials except wood and as shown in figure 2 for wood. The thickness of the adherends shall be sufficient to avoid significant plastic deformation.5.3 Cleaning and surface treatment of adherends The cleaning and surface treatment of adherends other than wood shall be in accordance with the instructions of the adherend manufacturer and/or adhesive manufacturer, and/or shall be chosen from the methods described in ISO 4588 in the case of metals or ISO 1 3895 in the case of plastics. In the case of wood, the adherends shall be free of dust, dirt and any other surface contaminants. 5.4 Preparation of specimens Prepare specimens other than wood in accordance with the procedure described in ISO 4587. In the case of wood, prepare specimens by bonding two adherends together and using a saw to make cuts in the specimen as shown in figure 2. Apply and cure the adhesive in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Control the bond line thickness by appropriate means, such as glass spheres or wire spacers. When using glass spheres, the content shall not exceed 0,5 % of the mass of the adhesive. When using wire spacers, prepare the specimens in such a way that the final test piece does not include the area containing the wire. The bond line thickness shall be reported in the test report. 5.5 Conditioning and testing atmosphere Condition and test the specimens in one of the standard atmospheres specified in ISO 291 . 5.6 Number of specimens Prepare and test at least three specimens for each stress investigated.
