EN 1465 is a tensile test used to measure the adhesive lap-shear bond strength of rigid-to-rigid assemblies. This standard is used by many industries to test adhesives applied to materials such as metals, plastics, wood, and composites. Lap-shear strength is a critical characteristic of any adhesive, as they can exhibit unique shear properties.

EN1465 is performed on a universal testing machine with a system capacity dependent on the strength of the adhesive. Most tests to this standard will fall into the capacity range between 1 kN and 5 kN, making this application perfect for a single column test frame If the adhesive requires a higher capacity system, dual column table model frames are available up to 50 kN.
