Expert Commentary
Measures Glue-Line Shear (Block Shear). This is used for panels made of multiple laminated layers. Similar to ASTM D905, it requires a heavy-duty shear block fixture. The technical differentiator for MTO is our self-aligning shear head, which compensates for any slight non-parallelism in the laminated specimen. This ensures that the load is applied uniformly across the entire glue line, providing a true measure of the adhesive’s structural integrity rather than a localized stress failure at a high point.
