Adhesion gauges are essentially used to determine the bond strength between two layers. In this way, these easy to use gauges are ideal for measuring a wide range of applications, which include concrete structural repairs as well as other types of coating adhesion on concrete - such as paint, cement, wall plaster, etc.
The basic principle of all the Elcometer Adhesion Gauges is as follows: a test dolly is glued to the surface and, once cured, pulled off. The tensile force required to remove the test dolly together with the coating is measured by the gauge.

The Elcometer 106/6 Adhesion Tester has been specifically designed to measure coatings on concrete. Operating in a similar way to the regular Elcometer 106 Adhesion Testers, the Elcometer 106/6 allows for a 50mm diameter dolly for testing coatings on concrete. Range 0 to 3.5 MPa. Conforms to BS & ACI.

Perhaps the best known adhesion gauge on the market today. The Elcometer 106 adhesion tester is easy to operate and fully portable, providing a numerical value for adhesion. Supplied in a rugged carry case for moving around the jobsite, the unit is hand operated so you don't have to worry about a power supply! Up to 3.5MPa. Conforms to ISO, ASTM, BS, ANSI & NFT.
