PCE-TAT ADHESION METER 10

What it is and why choose it

The PCE-TAT 10 adhesion meter from PCE Instruments is a robust mechanical dynamometer designed for daily use in adhesion testing. Using a fast-curing adhesive and interchangeable measuring heads, it determines the tensile adhesion strength of paints, coatings and other layers on various substrates. The device is built according to EN 13144 and ISO 4624 standards, ensuring standardized pull-off tests and reliable, comparable results.

• Mechanical adhesion meter for pull-off tests.
• Suitable for paints, coatings and other layer systems on different substrates and between cohesive materials.
• Simple construction and easy handling for routine, daily measurements.
• Use with fast-curing adhesive to obtain adhesion values in a short time.
• Measurement value shown directly on the instrument scale as tensile force at break.
• Two dolly sizes (No. 1 and No. 2) for different specific pull-off force ranges.
• Manufactured according to EN 13144 and ISO 4624 for standardized testing.
• Portable system with carrying bag and accessories included.

Applications and use cases

The PCE-TAT 10 adhesion meter is used to determine adhesion strength by the pull-off method. A measuring head (dolly) is glued onto the coating or layer to be tested. After the adhesive has cured, the integrated spring mechanism is used to pull off the dolly. The force required to detach it is read as a numerical value on the scale and represents the adhesion value.

This testing method is suitable for:

• Checking the adhesion of paints and varnishes on different substrates.
• Evaluating the bond strength between coatings and cohesive materials.
• Routine quality control of coating systems.
• On-site inspection work thanks to the compact, portable design.

FAQ
