Portable Adhesion Measurement Gauge

The portable adhesion tester measures the bonding strength between a coating and its substrate through mechanical pull-off or cross-cut methods. The instrument secures a specific adhesive onto the coating surface, applies a vertical pulling force until the coating detaches, and records the maximum force value. It is used for on-site rapid evaluation of the adhesion performance of coatings and inks on substrates such as metals and plastics, guiding adjustments in construction processes.
Selection
Select the corresponding measurement range based on the thickness of the coating being tested (typically 2-20 MPa); choose magnetic, suction cup, or adhesive probes depending on the substrate flatness; waterproof and dustproof designs are required for outdoor operations; prioritize equipment that complies with ASTM D4541/ISO 4624 standards; and provide multiple specifications of pull-off dollies to accommodate different coatings.
