Cross Hatch Cutter
Available in 2 sizes (1mm and 2mm), allows an assessment of the
adhesion resistance of coatings to separation from substrates when a
right-angled lattice pattern is cut into the coating and penetrates through
to the substrate. Can be used on multiple coatings. Precision-ground,
hardened tool steel cutting blades with 6 cutting sides so when 1 cutting side
becomes blunt there are a further 5 cutting sides to use.

Directions for use: Make one cutting pass through to the substrate. This makes
6 cuts in the coating. A second pass at 90º makes a square lattice pattern.
Apply Adhesive Tape over the cut lattice section & within 5 minutes remove
tape. Classify the cut area with a Viewing Lens according to the relevant
national standard classification guide.

Hydraulic Adhesion Tester

The Hydraulic Adhesion Tester measures with ease and precision the adhesion
bond strength of applied coatings. It is one of the most accurate & versatile
manual adhesion testers currently available.

The adhesion is measured by the tensile pull on a Dolly glued to the coating
surface. The force is applied through the centre of the Dolly by a hydraulically
loaded pin ensuring an exact central point loading of the force. Adhesion
values are recorded by a pressure gauge giving a 1:1 pressure reading.

This testing equipment offers effective quality control with a non-destructive

capability and can be tested on both external & internal surfaces of pipes.

Supplied with 5 Flat Dollies, Adhesive, Dolly Remover & Carrying Case.

Complies with ISO 8780-5, ISO 787/16, ASTM D 332 & ASTM D 387

Versions available: Standard Version 0 – 2600 psi

Right-angled Version 0 – 2600 psi
 Digital Adhesion Testers
Measures adhesion of coatings to metal, wood, concrete and other rigid
substrates. Revolutionary self alignment feature and pull rate indicator.
Conforms to national and international standards including ISO 4624/16276-1 and
others. Measures the force required to pull a specified test diameter of coating
away from its substrate using hydraulic pressure.

Now available in 2 models – Manual or Automatic

The Automatic Unit features an electronically controlled hydraulic pump which

automatically applies smooth and continuous pull-off pressure at a user-specified
rate.

The Manual Unit features a heavy-duty manual hydraulic pump designed to

apply smooth and continuous pull-off pressure with a single stroke.
