Glossary
Cleavage Strength.
Tensile load (lb/in of width) required to cause separation
of a 1-in. long metal-to-metal adhesive bond under the
conditions set in ASTM D-1062.
Climbing Drum Peel Test.
Method for determining peel resistance of adhesive bond
between a relatively flexible and a rigid material.
(ASTM D-1781).
Coefficient of Elasticity.
An alternate term for modulus of elasticity.
Cohesive Strength.
Theoretical stress that causes fracture in tension test if
material exhibits no plastic deformation.
Complex Modulus.
Measure of dynamic mechanical properties of a mate-
rial, taking into account energy dissipated as heat during
deformation and recovery. It is equal to the sum of static
modulus of a material and its loss modulus. In the case
of shear loading, it is called dynamic modulus.
Compressibility.
Extent to which a material is compressed in test for com-
pressibility and recovery of gasket materials (ASTM F-
36). It is usually reported with recovery.
Compressibility and Recovery Test.
Method for measuring behavior of gasket materials un-
der short time compressive loading at room temperature.
