ASTM D3167 Floating Roller Peel Test

The floating roller peel test is one of many types of tests designed to measure the average peel force of an adhesive or other bonding agent. The other common peel tests are the 90 degree, 180 degree, and T-Peel. Although not suitable for every application, the floating roller is a very accurate and easy method to obtain average peel force values.
Recommended Equipment:
A universal testing machine (tensile testing machine)
Needs to maintain a test speed of 6 inches per minute
Load of the test should fall within 15 and 85% of the full scale machine capacity.
The ADMET eXpert 7601 is one machine that is great for tests under 1kN of force (225 pounds): www.admet.com/...
Sometimes this test is performed on a ADMET eXpert 2611 with 10kN (2000 pounds) of capacity: www.admet.com/...
One tensile grip to hold the free end of the peel. We commonly use an easy to use self tightening tensile grip: www.admet.com/...
