PosiTest Adhesion Tester

Product catalog summary

Specifications
The PosiTest Pull-Off Adhesion Tester is designed to measure the adhesion strength of coatings on various substrates such as metal, wood, and concrete. It features a dolly size of 20 mm with a measurement range of 0 to 3000 psi (0 to 20 MPa) and an accuracy of ±1% full scale. The resolution is 1 psi (0.01 MPa). The kit weighs 12 lbs (5.5 kg) and includes a carrying case with dimensions of 17 in x 13 in x 6 in. Power options include manual operation with 2 AAA batteries or automatic operation with built-in rechargeable NiMH batteries.

Kit Contents
Each kit includes an adhesion tester with a digital display, 20 mm aluminum test dollies (20), an abrasive pad, a cutting tool, adhesive with mixing sticks and palettes, cotton swabs, an instruction booklet and video, a Certificate of Calibration traceable to NIST, a two-year warranty, and a sturdy, lightweight carrying case.

Software Features
The PosiSoft software for Windows provides analysis capabilities, displaying pressure, rate, test duration, and dolly size for up to 200 pulls. It calculates max, min, mean, and standard deviation, and offers real-time graphing of individual pulls. The software supports multiple languages and includes a USB cable for data export.

Options and Accessories
Optional accessories include a 50 mm accessory kit for lower bond strength finishes, a drilling template for isolating test areas, additional adhesive kits, and various dolly sizes (10, 14, 20, and 50 mm).

Models
The PosiTest is available in two models: Manual and Automatic. The manual model is portable and requires no external power source, while the automatic model features an electronically controlled hydraulic pump for smooth and continuous pressure application. Both models are durable, accurate, and versatile, conforming to international standards such as ASTM D4541/D7234 and ISO 4624/16276-1.

Key Features
The tester includes a self-alignment feature to compensate for misalignment, ensuring uniform distribution of pulling force. It is environmentally sealed, weatherproof, dustproof, and shockproof, making it suitable for both lab and field use. The device also features a pull rate indicator, internal memory, and a large LCD display for easy operation.
