(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Tensile-Shear Strength of Adhesives in the Subzero Temperature Range from -267.8 to -55°C (-450 to -67°F)
Standard Test Method for Tensile-Shear Strength of Adhesives in the Subzero Temperature Range from -267.8 to -55°C (-450 to -67°F)
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the comparative shear strength of adhesives for bonding metals when tested on a standard specimen and under specified conditions of preparation and testing at extreme subzero temperatures.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, 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. Specific precautions are given in 8.3.

4.3.4 Single-lap tests may be used for comparing and
selecting adhesives or bonding processes for susceptibility to
fatigue and environmental changes, but such comparisons must
be made with great caution since different adhesives may
respond differently in different joints. See Guide D 4896 for
further discussion of the concepts relative to interpretation of
adhesive-bonded single-lap-joints.
5. Apparatus
5.1 The testing machine shall conform to the requirements
of Test Method D 1002 except that pin-type grips as shown in
Fig. 1 shall be used to hold the test specimen.
5.2 The cooling equipment shall consist of a cold box or a
cryostat filled with a gaseous or liquid refrigerant in which the
standard specimen is immersed prior to and during the test. A
typical cryostat is shown in Fig. 2.
6. Test Specimens
6.1 Test specimens shall be cut from panels shown in Fig.
3(A). These test specimens shall conform to the form and
dimensions shown in Fig. 3(B). The specimens are in every
respect similar to the tension lap shear specimens described in
Test Method D 1002 Fig. 1, except that doublers and pin grips
