ISO 10123 applies to anaerobic curing liquid adhesives used for locking and sealing threaded fasteners and to other adhesives. These adhesives cure without being dependent on exposed air. ISO 10123 defines a test method to assess this material in a way that is similar to the shear stresses that threads are exposed to in their regular environment, but with defined surface areas to make shear strength calculations straightforward. The common name of this technique is the pin-and-collar method.
