Advanced coating adhesion gauge

measurement of the maximum pull off adhesion up to 25MPa / 3,600psi (20mm), or even 100MPa / 14,400psi (10mm) to an accuracy of ±1% of full scale. Individual pull off limits can be set, which allows the gauge to only pull to the limit feature before returning to zero – suitable for non-destructive testing. The Elcometer 510’s ‘hold at limit’ feature allows users to determine how long the gauge remains at a defined maximum force before returning to zero. Advanced Bluetooth connectivity seamlessly links the Elcometer 510 to PC, or iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Android mobile devices through the ElcoMaster™ App, for instant data transfer and professional reports.

ELCOMETER has launched the Elcometer 510 automatic pull-off adhesion gauge, designed to deliver fast and repeatable measurement of coating adhesion. In addition to automatically performing the pull-off adhesion test at the press of a button, the Elcometer 510 stores the cohesive and adhesive failure attributes, generates individual pull rate graphs for each test, allows users to set a maximum pull limit and then can instantly send all the information directly to a mobile via Bluetooth ® , generating instant reports, straight from the inspection site. The gauge can automatically mea- sure and save up to 60,000 readings, together with individual pull graphs, dolly diameter, pull rate, failure attributes and more, in up to 2,500 alpha numeric batches. The user can easily select from a list of dolly diameters (10, 14.2, 20 and 50mm) and pull rates, allowing
