ASTM D5651-13

Standard Test Method for Surface Bond Strength of Wood-Base Fiber and Particle Panel Materials

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
3.1 This test method provides a measure of the bond quality of the fibers, or particles, at the surface of wood-base fiber and particle panel materials including particleboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and oriented strand board (OSB). Surface bond strength is a measure of the strength and resistance to delamination of the bond between overlay materials and panel surfaces and is an important consideration when these overlay materials, such as wood veneers, saturated papers, or plastic overlays, are to be bonded to the panel surface during secondary manufacturing.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method is a measure of the cohesive bond strength of the fibers, or particles, on the surface of wood-base fiber and particle panels (for example, particleboard and medium-density fiberboard) in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the panel.  
1.1.1 To determine the internal cohesive bond strength of wood-base fiber and particle panels, use Section 11 of Test Methods D1037.  
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.  
1.3 This test method does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

4.1.1 The test cylinder shall be 28.7 mm (1.13 in.) in diameter, providing a test surface area of 645.2 mm (1 in. ), and the
cylinder length shall be approximately 25 mm (1 in.). One face of this cylinder shall be smoothly finished for gluing, while a
threaded hole shall be placed in the center of the opposite face and also aligned perpendicular to the gluing face.
4.1.2 The lower test fixture shall consist of a 6-mm (0.25- in.) steel plate mounted in a plane perpendicular to the direction of
test. The mounting shall be such that this plate is held rigidly and there is at least 60-mm (2.36-in.) clearance beneath it to permit
entry of the test assembly. This plate shall have a hole drilled in the center that is 2 mm (0.08 in.) larger than the diameter of the
test cylinder.
4.1.3 The upper arm of the test machine shall have a threaded means of engaging the threaded hole in the top of the test cylinder
so as to apply a force that shall move the test cylinder in a direction perpendicular to the lower test fixture and surface of the test
specimen. A self-aligning joint (universal joint) is required in the upper arm of the test fixture.
4.1.3.1 Alternate connecting devices such as a swivel and hook or ball and socket, are allowed for fixing the test cylinder to
the upper arm of the test machine. If alternate connecting devices are used, this shall be noted on the test report.
