Hi Yehuda - Take a look at ASTM D 1002 to see if that fits your set of conditions. The D1002 specification should also list other ASTM shear type methods.

I used to do a peel test and it worked fine with Teflon and even FR-4 layers but Polyimide layers are just too brittle to bend and peel. So instead I wish to do a "Lap shear test". Can anybody help me out by pointing me to an applicable standard test method? Thanks, Yehuda ************************************* * Yehuda E.
