Scope

1.1 This specification establishes performance levels for adhesives to be used in finger joints in nonstructural bonded-lumber products. Such products include, but are not limited to, interior and exterior mouldings, window and door components or parts, and bonded-lumber panels. Adhesives that meet the requirements of the various performance classes are considered capable of providing an adequate bond for use under the conditions described for the class. This specification is to be used to evaluate adhesives as well as the adhesive bonds in the finger joints. See Section 5, Significance and Use, for limitations when using this specification to evaluate industrially manufactured finger joints.

Note 1-This specification supersedes the finger-joint portion of the 1990 edition of Specification D3110.

1.2 The following index is provided as a guide to the test methods in this specification:

Section Apparatus 6 Equipment, Material, and Preparation of Assemblies and 7 Specimens Conditioning for Factory-Manufactured Assemblies, Laboratory- 8 Made Assemblies, and Test Specimens Testing in Flexure 9 Testing in Tension 10 Exposure Conditions and Treatments 11 1. Dry Use Tests: Dry, 3-cycle Soak, Elevated Temperature, 11.1 and Temperature-Humidity 2. Wet Use Tests: Dry, Boil, Elevated Temperature, and 11.2 Vacuum-Pressure

1.3 For the definitions of dry use and wet use , see 3.2.1.1 and 3.2.1.2.

1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The SI units given in parentheses are for information only.

1.5 The following precautionary caveat pertains only to the apparatus and test methods portions, Sections 6 through 11 of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
