Pull-off, bond strength

1542 - BS 1881:207 - ISO 4624 - NF P18-853
This dynamometer provides you with information on both the
adhesive force and the tensile strength of two layers of materials:
lime, facing plasters, mortars, building plasters, cements, concrete
and resistance of anchoring studs. Compact, light, stand-alone. Load
is applied by turning the crank. The reading is achieved through the
indicators pointer which becomes blocked at the peak level of the
testing. Models of different capacities are available and adhesion
metal discs having 20 and 50 mm can be used, depending to the
expected pull force. The instrument is supplied without accessories to
be ordered separately. To carry out the test a common electric drill is
required. Weight 3.5 kg

E143-04 Adhesive metolux glue, can of 1 kg
E143-06 Metallic carbide bit 20 mm
E143-07 Metallic carbide bit 50 mm

Procedure of use
1. Using the bit, make a round notch to the dimensions of the disc, up
to the base material. This is intended to define exactly the testing
surface.
2. Stick over the surface to be tested a disc of the relevant diameter.
This is achieved using the adhesive metolux glue.
3. The test consists in pulling out the notched part with the
instrument. The result is provided in kN.
