2、on.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers a procedure for evaluating thepull-off strength(commonly referred to as adhesion)of acoating system from meta
3、l substrates.Pull-off strength ofcoatings from concrete is described in Test Method D7234.This test offers two test protocols.Protocol 1(test to fracture)determines the greatest perpendicular force(in tension)that asurface area can bear before a plug of material is detached.Protocol 2(pass/fail)dete
4、rmines if the coated surface remainsintact at a defined load criteria.Fracture will occur along theweakest plane within the system comprised of the test fixture,glue,coating system,and substrate,and will be exposed by thefracture surface.This test method maximizes tensile stress ascompared to the sh

7、test parameters.Results obtained by eachtest method may give different results.Results should only beassessed for each test method and not be compared with otherinstruments.There are five instrument types,identified as TestMethods B-F.It is imperative to identify the test method usedwhen reporting r
8、esults.NOTE3Method A,which appeared in previous versions of thisstandard,has been eliminated as its main use is for testing on concretesubstrates(see Test Method D7234).1.3 This test method describes a class of apparatus known asportable pull-off adhesion testers.2They are capable of apply-ing a con
9、centric load and counter load to a single surface sothat coatings can be tested even though only one side isaccessible.Measurements are limited by the strength of adhe-sive bonds between the loading fixture and the specimensurface or the cohesive strengths of the glue,coating layers,and substrate.1.
