The Elcometer 106 Adhesion Tester is easy
to operate and fully portable, and provides a numerical value for
adhesion. Applications for the Elcometer 106 Adhesion Test include paint
or plasma spray
on bridge decking, coatings on steel, aluminium,
concrete etc
Supplied in a carry case - ideal for site tests•
Hand operated - no need for a power supply•
Includes a cutter for EN13144 and ISO 4624 tests•
Test Method
An adhesion test dolly is bonded to
the coating using an adhesive. The Elcometer 106 adhesion tester houses a
spring arrangement which applies a lift force to the dolly as the
tension is increased
When the coating is pulled off the surface,
an indicator on the scale shows the numerical value of adhesion
expressed in terms of the force per unit area required to remove the
dolly
Inspection of the dolly face is required to determine the failure mode
To
increase sensitivity at low values or for uneven surfaces, a 40mm
(1.52”) dolly is available. When using the 40mm (1.52”) dolly, divide
the scale reading by 4
