      Using an automatic hydraulic pump, the Elcometer 510 Pull-Off Adhesion Tester ensures smooth and continuous pressure application for consistent and repeatable results. Whilst the rate of pull is controlled manually for most pull-off adhesion testers, the Elcometer 510 Pull-Off Adhesion Gauge allows the rate of pull to be selected, and the gauge applies the pre-selected rate automatically.

      The Elcometer 510 Pull-Off Adhesion Tester includes all the features that you have come to expect from an Elcometer designed and manufactured product, including ease of use, robust and ergonomic design, menu driven colour display, user selectable statistics and display modes.

      As well as reducing inspection times, the Elcometer 510 Pull-Off Adhesion Gauge can also speed up inspection reporting. When out in the field or on site, users can instantly review their data using Elcometer’s free data management software, ElcoMaster®. Each live reading can be transferred via Bluetooth® to a PC, or mobile devices and, at the click of a button, users are able to generate professional reports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Coating adhesion testing measures how well a coating is bonded to the surface beneath it. For a coating inspector, it provides a quantitative way of assessing whether a coating system has achieved an adequate bond, rather than relying solely on visual inspection. The most widely used method is the pull-off adhesion test, where a dolly is bonded to the coating and pulled away using controlled force until the coating system fails or a specified load is reached. Instruments such as the Elcometer 510 can automate this process to help produce consistent, repeatable measurements.
Coating can look perfectly acceptable while still having inadequate adhesion. Poor adhesion can eventually result in blistering, peeling, delamination or premature coating failure. For inspectors, adhesion testing provides additional evidence of coating performance and can be used alongside checks such as dry film thickness, surface cleanliness and environmental conditions to build a more complete assessment of the coating system. The failure mode (attributes) of an adhesion test also gives an indication of where any failures in the coating process have led to an adhesion test failure

A metal dolly is first bonded to the coating using a suitable adhesive. Once the adhesive has cured, a test instrument is attached to the dolly, and a controlled tensile force is applied.

The force is gradually increased until the dolly separates from the surface, or the specified test limit is reached. The resulting force is then used to determine the coating's adhesion strength.
Automated instruments such as the Elcometer 510 control the rate of force application, reducing the need for the inspector to manually control the test.

When investigating a low adhesion result, a coating inspector should therefore consider the complete coating process rather than assuming the coating material itself is necessarily responsible.

The appropriate pull rate depends on the relevant test standard or specification being followed. Maintaining a controlled and consistent rate is important because the rate of force application can influence the measured result. For field inspection, manually maintaining a precise pull rate can be difficult. An automated pull-off tester can help by applying force at a controlled rate, improving repeatability between tests and making it easier to follow the requirements of the applicable test method.
Generally, a coating does not have one universal pass/fail adhesion value. The acceptable result depends on the coating system, substrate, project specification and applicable standard. A coating inspector should compare the measured result with the requirements specified for that particular application. The failure mode should also be considered, as the location and nature of the failure can provide important information even when the numerical result appears acceptable.
Pull-off adhesion testing is the standard diagnostic tool when investigating coating failures such as peeling, flaking or delamination. Testing different areas can help determine whether the problem is isolated or widespread and can provide information about the strength of the coating/substrate bond or the integrity of the coating layers. When combined with visual inspection, thickness measurements and knowledge of the coating history, adhesion testing can help an inspector establish a clearer picture of why a coating system has failed.
An adhesion result indicates the force required to cause separation at the test location, typically reported in MPa, psi or another appropriate unit. However, the numerical value should not be considered in isolation. The inspector should also record where the failure occurred. For example, failure may occur between the coating and substrate, between coating layers, within the coating itself, or within the adhesive. This combination of adhesion strength and failure mode provides a much more useful indication of coating performance.
Adhesive failure occurs at an interface, such as between the coating and substrate or between two coating layers. A: Cohesive failure occurs within a material itself. For example, the coating may break internally while remaining bonded to the substrate. Understanding the failure mode is important because two tests can produce similar adhesion values while indicating completely different coating problems. Recording the failure location alongside the measured value therefore gives the inspector better evidence when evaluating the coating system. Trusted by coating inspectors and quality professionals worldwide, the Elcometer 510 delivers the confidence needed to assess prepared surfaces and verify critical requirements.
Many factors can influence coating adhesion, including surface preparation, contamination, substrate condition, coating compatibility, application conditions, curing and environmental exposure. Moisture, surface salts, oil, grease, dust and inadequate surface profile can all contribute to adhesion problems.
A useful adhesion test record should contain enough information to allow the result to be understood and traced back to the inspection location. Depending on the applicable standard, this may include the test location, dolly size, adhesion value, pull rate, coating system and failure mode. Photographs and environmental information can also be valuable when investigating coating performance. Modern pull-off testers can store individual readings and associated test information, making it easier to maintain consistent inspection records and transfer results into a formal coating inspection report.
