The most powerful of all the adhesion
testers in the PAT range, model AT101E/80kN is designed particularly for
tensile adhesion testing of the strongest thermal sprayed coatings (e.g. arc,
plasma and HVOF sprayed). With the Ø25mm (1 inch) test cylinders the certified testing range is 136
MPa/19700 psi which is higher than the tensile strength of the strongest
heat-curing adhesive (used for gluing the test elements).
Pull off testing is done in two ways:
|
1
|
In accordance with ASTM-C633 (two
cylinders glued together) (ASTM-jig is an optional accessory).
|

|
|
2
|
Pull testing directly on the coated
component or on test panels
|

|
In addition this adhesion testing machine is used for
tensile testing of various materials where strain measurements are not
required.
Different test ranges are achieved by using different test
element sizes (see table below).
|
Description
|
|

|
Portable and simple to use.
|
|

|
Produces comparable test results both in
the laboratory and on site.
|
|

|
Precision gauge with both MPa (N/mm2)
and p.s.i. reading.
|
|

|
Simple layout of control panel.
|
|

|
Rate of tensile force increase is
infinitely variable between zero MPa/sec (standstill) up to maximum rate (the
rate depends on the size test element used).
|
|

|
110/230V mains power. Battery power is an optional extra.
|
|

|
All AT101 adhesion testing machine models
can have the data logging module built in when new or retro-fitted into
existing units.
|
|

|
Testing of coatings on any shaped
substrates, e.g. inside and outside pipe surfaces.
|
|

|
Supplied in solid aluminium case.
