Now Digital...Measures adhesion of coatings to metal, wood, concrete and other substrates - Revolutionary self-alignment feature and pull rate indicator
brings new meaning to adhesion measurements.

Simple
  • Portable, hand-operated instrument requires no external power source – ideal for lab and field use.
  • Large, easy-to-read LCD
  • Pull Rate Indicator – allows operator to easily monitor and adjust the rate of pull in accordance with international test methods.
  • Easily select dolly sizes, change measurement units or store readings, with the touch of a button
  • Conversion charts not required – tester automatically calculates pressure based on dolly size
  • Inexpensive, single-use dollies eliminate cleaning re-use and can be kept as a permanent record
  • Each kit comes with everything needed for testing
