ASTM D3167, Standard Test Method for Floating Roller Peel Resistance of Adhesives, is the test method for peel resistance.
ASTM D3167 Standard Test Method for Floating Roller Peel Resistance of Adhesives
At a Glance
Document type: Test Method.
Edition: active, edition D3167-10(2017).
Property determined: peel resistance.
Scope
Determination of the relative peel resistance of adhesive bonds between one rigid adherend and one flexible adherend under specified conditions of preparation and testing.
The flexible adherend is peeled at an approximately constant angle from the rigid adherend.
Where no thickness is specified, the flexible adherend is 0.63 mm (0.025 in.) and the rigid adherend 1.63 mm (0.064 in.).
Used for acceptance and process control testing.
What the Result Tells You
A test to ASTM D3167 characterises the peel resistance of the material or assembly under the conditions the method fixes: specimen form, rate of loading and the environment in which the test is run.
Because the numbers depend on those fixed conditions, a result is only meaningful when the report names the standard, the edition and any options the method allows.

Reading the Designation
ASTM D3167: the designation as published by the issuing body.
Year suffix: the revision is identified by its year, as in ASTM D3167-17. A specification that names an edition fixes that edition; a later revision does not apply to an order retroactively.
When a drawing, purchase order or quality procedure cites this document, the test setup, the specimen and the report follow that citation.
