ASTM D2229 is a standard test method for testing the adhesion between steel tire cords and rubber. The test looks at adhesion strength of the steel cord to the rubber and cohesion strength of the rubber to the steel cord. The test method covers the process for determining the force required to pull a steel cord from a block of vulcanized rubber.
The test method is primarily designed to test with wire cord, however the test method may also be applied to any wire used in rubber products. Evaluation of the adhesion strength of rubber to steel cord is also covered in ASTM D2229.
