This document specifies two methods for determining the adhesion strength of vulcanized rubber to
wire cord which is embedded in the rubber.
The two methods do not necessarily give the same results.
They are applicable primarily to test pieces prepared in the laboratory under standard conditions
and used for the development and control of materials and processes utilized in the manufacture of
products reinforced with wire cord.
NOTE The methods can also be used for single wire, for example bead wire.
Method 1 reduces the dependence of the measured adhesion on the modulus and strength properties of
the rubber.
