At first developed from the Mar Tester 435, Model 435 S has been adjusted, in cooperation with a well-known manufacturer of - among others - scaled indication fittings for vehicle cockpits, especially to tests of this product group. When used as an adhesion tester e.g. the coloured coating applied to the dial of a speedometer in the shape of raised numbers, points or scale lines, is tested concerning its adhesion to the substrate, by lateral slipping with a defined “blunt” test body geometry, with a preselected test force. In principle the Model 435 S is feasible for testing the adhesion of almost...
