Adhesion gauges are essentially used to determine the bond strength between two layers. In this way, these easy to use gauges are ideal for measuring a wide range of applications, which include concrete structural repairs as well as other types of coating adhesion on concrete - such as paint, cement, wall plaster, etc.
The basic principle of all the Elcometer Adhesion Gauges is as follows: a test dolly is glued to the surface and, once cured, pulled off. The tensile force required to remove the test dolly together with the coating is measured by the gauge.
