ASTM D3359 :- Standard Test Methods for Rating Adhesion by Tape Test

These test methods cover procedures for assessing the
adhesion of relatively ductile coating films to metallic substrates by applying and removing pressure-sensitive tape over
cuts made in the film.

Terminology

• Adhesion—the molecular attraction and mechanical
  bonds between a coating and its substrate.

• Batch—as it pertains to tape, a unique production
  run during manufacturing.

• Blemish, —an obvious surface flaw, such as cracking
  or discoloration of the coating.

• Environmental conditions—the characteristics of the
  immediate surroundings during the tests, such as temperature,
  and relative humidity

• Immersion conditions—the characteristics of the
  fluid to which the test specimen was exposed, such as type of
  fluid, temperature of fluid and duration of immersion.

• Lap—one complete turn of the tape on a roll; the
  outer exposed layer of tape.

• Lattice pattern—one series of parallel lines inter�sected by another set of parallel lines that are at 90° to and
  centered on the first set.

• Mean—the classification rating that is obtained by
  adding together the digits of the classification ratings of the
  tests performed and dividing by the number of tests, frequently
  rounded to the nearest whole number classification rating.

• Pressure-sensitive tape—tape with an adhesive that
  requires some degree of pressure, and only pressure, to
  adequately bond to a surface.

• Range—the span of classification ratings for a set
  of tests, from minimum classification rating to maximum
  classification rating.

• Solvent—a liquid agent capable of dissolving or
  dispersing contaminants from the surface of the coating or film.

• Substrate—the structural foundation beneath the
  coating or film being tested.

• Template—a thin, rigid plate containing evenly
  distributed, parallel slits for use as a guide in generating the
  lattice pattern when accompanied by a single-blade cutting
  tool.
