Elcometer 506

Pull-Off Adhesion Tester

Testing coatings on low bond strength substrates

When testing coatings on low bond strength substrates such as concrete, wood or other fibrous

materials, a larger surface area of dolly is required to improve accuracy, repeatability and

reproducibility.

The Elcometer 506 Concrete Adhesion Tester can be supplied as a kit or with individual 50mm

accessory items (skirt, dolly, cutter) which can be added to existing Elcometer 506 gauges.
