ASTM B533-85(2013)

1.1 This test method gives two procedures for measuring the force required to peel a metallic coating from a plastic substrate.² One procedure (Procedure A) utilizes a universal testing machine and yields reproducible measurements that can be used in research and development, in quality control and product acceptance, in the description of material and process characteristics, and in communications. The other procedure (Procedure B) utilizes an indicating force instrument that is less accurate and that is sensitive to operator technique. It is suitable for process control use.
