Mechanical joining - Destructive testing of joints - Specimen dimensions and test procedure for tensile shear testing of single joints (ISO 12996:2013)

This standard specifies the geometry of the test specimens and the procedure for the tensile shear testing of single mechanical joints on single and multi-layer specimens up to a single sheet thickness of 4,5 mm. The term sheet, as used in this standard, includes extrusions and cast materials. The purpose of the tensile shear test is to determine the mechanical characteristics and failure types of the joints made with the different methods.
