The Elcometer 108 Hydraulic Adhesion Tester is packed in a cardboard and foam package. Please ensure
that this packaging is disposed of in an environmentally sensitive manner. Consult your local Environmental
Authority for further guidance.
To maximise the benefits of this instrument please take some time to read these Operating
Instructions. Do not hesitate to contact Elcometer or your Elcometer supplier if you have any
questions.
1.2 THIS GAUGE OPERATES AT HIGH PRESSURE
The operating range of the Elcometer 108 is 0 MPa to 18 MPa (0 PSI to 2600 PSI). When the
dolly and coating separate from the substrate, a large amount of energy may be released in a
short period of time. Do not exceed the operating range of the gauge. Ignoring these
instructions may result in damage to the pressure gauge.
Note: The oil inside the gauge is incompressible and therefore any leakage due to catastrophic failure of
the gauge will result in an almost instantaneous drop in pressure to atmospheric level.
Although very high pressure may be present inside the gauge, users of the gauge may be confident that
they will not be subjected to any significant hazard in the unlikely event of rupture of any part of the gauge
during normal use.
