PCE-DAT 500

The Force Gage is a portable, hand-operated device that measures the force required to pull a specific test diameter of coating from a substrate using hydraulic force. The measured force is shown on the LCD and represents the adhesion strength of the coating to the substrate. This device is used to evaluate the adhesion (peel strength) of a coating by determining the maximum tensile force it can withstand before it peels off. Breakage points, which appear as cracks along the weakest layer in the system of carrier, adhesive, coating layers and substrate, are visualised by the Force Gage. Equipped with a hand-operated hydraulic pump, our Force Gage enables precise and repeatable application of the required tensile force. Thanks to a selection of different dolly sizes, the device can be flexibly adapted to different test requirements, making it particularly versatile. In addition, the Force Gage offers a mini-USB interface for easy transfer of measurement data to external devices. The data can be saved in practical CSV format, which enables easy processing and analysis. You can find some additional as well as replacement measuring heads as well as the right base for your needs in the accessories.
