Information on the most widely used ASTM standards within the materials testing industry
Shear
The shear test is a critical mechanical property evaluation method that assesses a material’s ability to resist tangential forces that cause adjacent internal material layers to slide past each other. Unlike tensile or compression tests that focus on axial loads, shear tests simulate real-world scenarios where materials endure parallel, opposing forces—such as bolted joints under load, adhesive bonds, or structural components subjected to lateral stress. Key indicators derived from this test include shear strength, shear modulus, and shear strain at failure, which are essential for ensuring the structural integrity and reliability of materials and components. UnitedTest, a professional provider of mechanical testing equipment, offers shear test fixtures for evaluating the shear strength of composites, adhesives, rivets, rods, wires, coatings and other industrial materials. Our shear test fixture solutions support single shear, double shear, lap shear, Iosipescu shear and shear loading compression tests in accordance with ASTM F1044, ASTM F1160, ASTM B565, ASTM D4255, ASTM D5379, ASTM D3410, ISO 10123 and other relevant standards.
Available for test loads from 5 kN to 300 kN, these shear testing fixtures can be matched with UnitedTest universal testing machines or adapted to compatible third-party systems. Fixture dimensions, specimen holders, working holes, connection threads and loading capacity can be customized according to your specimen and testing method.
Send us your test standard, specimen dimensions, material type, required load and testing machine model. Our engineers will help you select or configure the appropriate shear test fixture.
