It is recommended that this Part be read in conjunction with the general information in the Introduction to BS 3900
issued separately (revised edition published March 1969).
National foreword
This Part of BS 3900 i s identical with I S 0 4624-1978 'Paints and varnishes - Pull-off t e s t for adhesion' which was
prepared by Technical Committee 35, Paints and varnishes, of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO),
with the active participation and approval of the United Kingdom.
Terminology and conventions. The text of the international standard has been approved as suitable for publication,
without deviation, as a British Standard. Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with those used in
British Standards; attention is especially drawn to the following.
The comma has been used in figure 3 as a decimal marker. In British Standards it i s current practice to use a full point
on the base line as the decimal marker.
Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear, referring to this standard, they should be interpreted as 'British
Standard'.

7.2 Adhesives
Prepare and apply the adhesive in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. Use the minimum quantity of
adhesive required to produce a firm, continuous and even
bond between the components of the t e s t assembly.
Remove any excess adhesive immediately if possible.

7.4 Measurement
Immediately after the period allowed for the curing of the
adhesive, place the t e s t assembly in the tensile tester (3.1 1,
taking care to align the t e s t cylinders so that the tensile
force is applied uniformly across the test area, without
bending moment, Apply a tensile stress, increasing a t a rate
not greater than 1 MPa/s, perpendicular t o the plane of
the coated substrate such that failure of the test assembly
shall occur within 90 s of initial application of the stress.
NOTES

test.
