ISO 4587: Standard for shear strength measurements of adhesive compounds
What is ISO 4587?
ISO 4587 is an international standard that provides guidelines for testing the shear strength of adhesive compounds. This standard is essential for evaluating the performance and durability of bonded materials in various applications. It is very important in the aviation, automotive and construction sectors, where the integrity of connections is critical to the safety and reliability of products.
Why is ISO 4587 important?
The application of ISO 4587 offers several advantages:
- Quality Assurance: This standard helps manufacturers ensure that their bonded connections are strong and reliable, which is essential for the safety of the final products.
- Material selection: engineers can make informed choices based on the test results when selecting materials and adhesives for specific applications.
- Consistency and reliability: ISO 4587 provides standardized testing methods, leading to reliable and repeatable results across production batches.
How does ISO 4587 work?
The test method generally includes the following steps:
- Sample preparation: samples of glued materials are prepared according to established standards to ensure the accuracy of the test.
- Test procedure: The sample is exposed to controlled shear loads, and the maximum shear strength is measured when the connection fails.
Relation to ASTM D1002
An important standard related to ISO 4587 is ASTM D1002. This standard test method specifies the procedure for measuring the lap shear strength of adhesive compounds. While ISO 4587 focuses on shear strength and interlayer adhesion, ASTM D1002 provides a similar evaluation for the performance of laminated materials. Together, these standards help manufacturers ensure the quality and safety of glued products.
