adhesion test

For track testing, a detergent based solution has historically been used to provide low adhesion test conditions.

The scrape adhesion test measures the determination of the adhesion of organic coatings when applied to smooth, flat panel surfaces.

The Center has been inventing new adhesion test methods involving vacuum ovens, interferometers, and infrared microscopes, and is establishing computer models of the adhesion process.

Some of these inspections and tests include visual inspections, ozone resistance tests, accelerated aging tests, adhesion tests of the bond between the liner and inner jacket, determination of the amount of hose twist under pressure, dimensional checks, and many more.
