The tensile strength of these adhesives are relatively low (compared with e.g. concrete), and the 20 kN testing model gives a certified testing range of up to 13.3 MPa/1900psi.
An automatic adhesion testing machine is best suited for this type of testing and the following two models are available:
AT101E/6.3kN
If
high resolution and high accuracy results are required for very low
values (below 2 MPa [N/mm2]) the 6.3kN is the best
choice. This model has a certified testing range of up to 2.1MPa/300psi. with the 50 x 50mm test element.
(The 6.3kN testing head, adaptor, 50x50mm test element and test support is illustrated at the right.)
AT101E/20kN
The
more
powerful adhesion testing machine is used if a wider testing range
is required. This 20 kN testing machine gives a certified
testing range of up to 6.6MPa/960psi with the 50 x 50mm test
element.
