1 OVERVIEW
The surface under examination is prepared
and then a test dolly is attached by
adhesive. When the adhesive is cured, the
tester is attached to the dolly and a force is
applied by turning the handle.
Available with an analogue or digital
pressure gauge, the Elcometer 108
Hydraulic Adhesion Tester is an easy to
operate and fully portable Type III
adhesion gauge for measuring the bond
strength of a range of applied coatings.
When the stress exceeds the adhesion of the coating, the dolly and
coating detach from the substrate. The maximum value of hydraulic
pressure during the test is recorded and is equivalent to the adhesion
of the coating to the substrate.
