Elcometer 106 Adhesion Tester
Test Method

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.

Test from low adhesion values of 5-30 psi (0.05 - 0.2 N/mm²) up to 500 - 3200 psi (5 - 22 N/mm²)

For an approximate value in kg/cm² multiply N/mm² by 10

Note: (0) is nominal zero

Used in accordance with ASTM D451, ISO 4624 and BS EN 24624 test methods.
