Pull Off Adhesion Testers
From the largest man-made structures to the smallest household appliances, most manufactured products have a protective or cosmetic coating. Premature failure of this coating can, at the very least, result in costly penalties or rework.
Adhesion testing after the coating process will quantify the strength of the bond between substrate and coating, or between different coating layers or the cohesive strength of some substrates. Routine testing is used as part of inspection and maintenance procedures to help detect potential coating failures.
Elcometer offer a highly comprehensive range of Adhesion Gauges designed specifically to meet your requirements.
Pull Off Adhesion Method Tensile Dollies (or stubs) are glued to the coating and, when the adhesive has cured, the force required to pull the dolly off the surface is measured.

Elcometer 106/6 Coatings on Concrete Adhesion Tester
Elcometer 506 Pull Off Adhesion Tester
Elcometer 510 Automatic Pull Off Adhesion Tester
The Elcometer 106 Pull Off Adhesion Tester is easy to operate, fully portable, and provides a numerical value for adhesion. Applications for the Elcometer 106 Adhesion Test include paint or plasma spray on bridge decking, coatings on steel, aluminium, concrete etc. Supplied in a carry case – ideal for site tests Hand operated – no need for a power supply Includes a cutter for EN13144 and ISO 4624 tests
The Elcometer 510 Automatic Pull Off Adhesion Tester accurately measures the strength of the bond between the coating and the substrate. Automatic hydraulic pump ensures smooth and continuous pressure application for consistent, repeatable results Fully adjustable pull rates 0.1-1.4MPa/s to meet National and International Standards Can be used with 10,14.2, 20 and 50mm diameter dollies User definable limits with unique pressure hold and release function User definable measurement range with an accuracy of ±1% of full scale: 10mm dolly: 100 … Read More
The Elcometer 506 Pull Off Adhesion Tester is a lightweight, portable and easy-to-use adhesion gauge. Available in analogue or digital versions, the Elcometer 506 is suitable for measuring the pull-off adhesion of coatings up to 50MPa either on-site, or in the laboratory. The design of the Elcometer 506 ensures that a uniform force can be easily applied throughout the range by smoothly rotating the gauge’s crank handle, ensuring repeatable results to an accuracy of ±1%.
Specifically designed to measure coatings on concrete, the Elcometer 106/6 Adhesion Tester operates in a similar way to the regular Elcometer 106 Adhesion Tester. The Elcometer 106/6 allows for a 50mm diameter dolly for testing coatings on concrete. Fully portable and is supplied in a carry case – ideal for site tests
