Abstract
An adapter for a testing too for use in the testing of shear strength of an adhesive as applied to a test specimen has a structure that permits it to be used on testing machines either in a tension or in a compression mode. The testing tool includes a pair of coacting force blocks which slidably engage each other and move, relative to each other. Each such force block has a central opening into which a test specimen may be inserted. The openings in each of the force blocks engage a different one of the two test coupons that make up a testing specimen. The force blocks further have bearing surfaces that oppose each other so that they may engage the like opposing ends of the test specimen.
