The Device
The Elcometer 106 adhesion tester - easy to operate and fully portable, provides a numerical value for adhesion. There are numerous applications e.g. 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 PrincipleA test piece, the 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.

 For cases of coating failure inspection the Elcometer 106 adhesion tester is ideal for determine tensile bond strength comparable to manufacturer specifications. |
