Working Mechanism
- Remove dirt and debris from the surfaces to be tested.
- Position the adhesion tester in such a way that the force is applied perpendicular to the surfaces being tested.
- Apply the force by the tester and slowly increase the intensity.
- Record the force at which the surfaces separate in a log or other record-keeping system.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the units of force displayed by these units?
Pounds per square inch or Newton per square millimetre.
How to clean the surfaces before performing an adhesion test?
Use a solvent or cleaning solution to clean the surface.
What to do if the force required to separate the surfaces is significantly lower or higher than expected?
If the instrument's readings of the force required to separate the surfaces are significantly lower or higher than expected, it could indicate a problem with the adhesive bond or the bonding process. In such cases, the results of the adhesion test should be used to make adjustments to the bonding process to improve the quality of the adhesive bond.
How to interpret the results of an adhesion tester?
The results of these adhesion testers are reported as a value of adhesive strength. These values can be compared to standards or specifications to determine the suitability of the adhesive or coating for a particular application.
What are the potential sources of error while using an adhesion tester?
The common sources of error include improper tester calibration, variations in the material properties and differences in the surfaces being bonded.
