The Elcometer 106 Adhesion Tester - easy to operate and fully portable, provides a numerical value for coating adhesion. Fully portable; the carrying case includes all you need to start testing. The instrument is hand operated so you don't have to worry about a power supply.

FEATURES
  • Fully portable and comes in a carrying case
  • Hand operated so you don't have to worry about a power supply!
  • Can be used in accordance with ASTM D4541, ISO 4624 and BS EN 24624 test methods

APPLICATIONS
  • Paint or plasma spray on metal
  • Membrane on bridge decking
  • Coatings on concrete or brick
  • Laminates on particle board
  • ... These are just a few examples.

THE PRINCIPLE

A test dolly, is bonded to the coating using an adhesive. The 106 houses a spring arrangement which applies a lift force to the dolly. When the dolly is pulled off the surface, an indicator on the scale shows the numerical value of adhesion expressed in terms of the force required to remove the dolly.

The 106 is available in five versions. Choose from one of the scale range shown.

Test from low adhesion values of 0.05-0.2MPa (5-30psi) up to 5-22MPa (500-3200psi)
(for an approximate value in kg/cm² multiply MPa by 10)
Note: (0) is nominal zero.
