Most manufactured products have a protective or decorative coating, whether they are custom-made metal structures or standard domestic products. An unexpected defect in the coating can lead to additional costs and extra work, resulting in a loss of customer confidence.
The adhesion measurement test during the coating application process should quantify the pull-off force between substrate and coating. The test can also be used as part of inspection and maintenance procedures to detect any coating defects.
The devices will be able to test coating adhesion for a wide range of applications.
- Easy to use
- Manual operation
- High precision
- Portable
- Complete kits ready for use
- Several scales available
Principle of use
A stud is glued to the surface of the part to be tested. The F106 contains a spring system which applies a pull-off force to the pad. As soon as the pin has been pulled off, an indicator on the device scale shows the adhesion value equivalent to the force required to pull the pin off.
Complies with ASTM D4541, ISO 4624 and BS EN 24624 test methods.
The easy-to-handle, portable F106 mechanical adhesion tester provides a numerical value for the adhesion of a coating to its substrate.
There are numerous applications: paint or plasma spraying on metal, coatings on concrete or brick, melamine on particleboard are just a few examples.
Totally portable, the carrying case includes everything you need to carry out your inspection. The device is self-contained, so you don't need a power supply.
It measures from low adhesion values of 0.05-0.2 N/mm2 (5-30 psi) up to 5-22 N/mm2 (500-3200 psi).
