PosiTest® AT Pull-off Adhesion Testers
Pull-off Adhesion Testers

Measures the adherence of coatings to metal, wood, concrete, and other hard substrates.

  • Select from four Stand-offs - 20 mm, 50 mm, 50x50 mm Tile and 50 mm C1583
  • Environmentally sealed enclosure—weatherproof, dustproof and shockproof—meets or exceeds IP65
  • Inexpensive, single-use dollies eliminate cleaning for re-use and can be kept as a permanent record
  • Self-aligning aluminum dolly enables accurate measurements on smooth or uneven surfaces
  • 10, 14, 20 or 50 mm dollies maximize capability and measurement resolution across a wide range of bond strengths
  • Calibrated and certified to ± 1% accuracy using a NIST traceable load cell
  • Certificate of Calibration showing traceability to NIST included (Long Form)
  • Conforms to international standards including ASTM C1583/D4541/D7234, ISO 4624/16276-1, EN 1542/12004-2, AS/NZS 1580.408.5 and others
