1.1 This standard covers preparation of test pieces and the procedure of testing the adhesion of rubber to metal where these have been bonded and vulcanized.
1.1.1 These tests may be used after suitable modification for know-ing the comparative bond strength of production parts whenever the design permits preparation of suitable test pieces. It is also useful for preparation of test pieces in the laboratory under standard conditions to provide data for the development and control of rubber vulcanizates for rubber-metal bonding purposes. Results obtained with one proce-dure will not necessarily be identical with those obtained with the other procedure.
