Testing of car windows - Adhesive load measurement on bonded joints
Universal testing machine inspekt solo 2.5 kN with special peel device
A modern vehicle consists of up to 10,000 individual parts, including numerous small and micro components that are exposed to high loads. Adhesive bonds on side windows and windscreens in particular have to withstand extreme forces, as they contribute to the stability of the bodywork and the safety of the occupants.
The inspekt solo 2.5 kN universal testing machine has been specially configured for testing bonded joints on car windows. A special device is used to precisely determine the adhesive load of the bonds.
Test procedure
The peel test is used to determine the adhesive strength of bonded joints on car windows. This involves peeling off the bonded material under a defined load in order to determine the adhesive strength and its durability.
Procedure of the peel test:
- Specimen preparation: The car windshield with the adhesive bond is clamped in the special peel device.
- Test procedure: The adhesive bond is released with a constant tensile load.
- Results analysis: The LabMaster testing software precisely records the required adhesive force and documents the entire process.
Software and evaluation
The testing machine is supplied with the LabMaster testing software, which offers comprehensive functions for component testing:
- Block program for cyclic load tests
- Special “peel test” module for detailed analysis of bonded joints
- Data export functions for further material analyses
