Non-destructively measure the strength of the bond between the coating and the substrate
Elcometer 500 features state-of-the-art electronics that accurately, repeatably and reliably measures up to 9mm (355mils) coatings on concrete, or other similar surfaces.
Hand-held, waterproof, ruggedly designed, it has intuitive menu in multiple languages, ideal for the laboratory or field use. Test with confidence on flat or curved surfaces using the following simple procedure: Glue dollies to the coating and once it has cured, use the adhesion tester to pull the coating off the surface to assess adhesion.
Elcometer 510 is similar in operation to the Elcometer 506 except it is operated automatically and not manually.
Understanding Pull-off adhesion testing – Elcometer 510 and other devices
When testing coatings on low bond strength substrates such as concrete, wood or other fibrous materials, a larger surface area of dolly (50mm) is required to provide accurate, repeatable and reproducible results.
Using the smaller area dolly (10mm) on tiny parts or curved surfaces ensures accurate and consistent results.

Assessing The Results – Failure Attributes
Many National and International Standards, including ISO 4624 & ASTM D4541, require the user to record not only the pull-off force but also the nature of the failure. This is done by examining the bottom of the dolly and assessing the failure. In ‘Advanced’ mode on the Elcometer 510 it is possible to select the ‘Attributes’ feature (Menu/Setup/Gauge Mode/Advanced) allowing the nature of the fracture to be recorded against each reading and stored within the batch
Examining The Dolly
510 dolly surface image
a) Cohesive Failure: The coating fails within the body of a coating layer leaving the same coating on the surface and on the dolly face.
b) Adhesive Failure: Failure occurs at the interface between layers (intercoat) where one pulls away from the other. The “coating” on the dolly face will not be the same as that on the test area.
c) Glue Failure: When no coating is present on the dolly it must be recorded as a failure of the glue. This may be due to incorrect or insufficient mixing of the component parts of the adhesive, incompatibility between the adhesive/coating/dolly/test surface.
The data is saved in the batch and can be viewed at any time displayed as
##.## MPae N% A M% A/B, where;
##.## MPae = Pull Force in MPa or other measurement units (psi, Newtons or Nmm-2)
N% = Cohesive failure percentage
A = Cohesive failure layer
M% = Adhesion failure percentage
A/B = Intercoat adhesive failure layers
The data is saved in the batch and can be viewed at any time displayed as
##.## MPae N% A M% A/B, where;
##.## MPae = Pull Force in MPa or other measurement units (psi, Newtons or Nmm-2)
N% = Cohesive failure percentagef
A = Cohesive failure layer
M% = Adhesion failure percentagef
A/B = Intercoat adhesive failure layers
d The number of layers can be user-defined for each batch via Batch/New Batch/Number of Layers. This will affect the number of layers available for selection during attribute recording. The maximum number of layers available is five, excluding the substrate and glue.
e Or equivalent units.
f To the nearest 10%, in line with International Standards.

A range of standard and thin substrate actuator skirts allow each gauge to be use with 10, 14.2, 20 or 50mm diameter reusable dollies, ideal for testing coatings on thick, thin, flat, or convex substrates. |
The optional magnetic anchor clamp ensures the actuator doesn’t fall during tests on vertical surfaces or testing at height. |
Supplied in a robust plastic carry case for easy transportation to and around the job site. |
Assessing The Results – Failure Attributes
Many National and International Standards, including ISO 4624 & ASTM D4541, require the user to record not only the pull-off force but also the nature of the failure. This is done by examining the bottom of the dolly and assessing the failure. In ‘Advanced’ mode on the Elcometer 510 it is possible to select the ‘Attributes’ feature (Menu/Setup/Gauge Mode/Advanced) allowing the nature of the fracture to be recorded against each reading and stored within the batch
Examining The Dolly
510 dolly surface image
a) Cohesive Failure: The coating fails within the body of a coating layer leaving the same coating on the surface and on the dolly face.
b) Adhesive Failure: Failure occurs at the interface between layers (intercoat) where one pulls away from the other. The “coating” on the dolly face will not be the same as that on the test area.
c) Glue Failure: When no coating is present on the dolly it must be recorded as a failure of the glue. This may be due to incorrect or insufficient mixing of the component parts of the adhesive, incompatibility between the adhesive/coating/dolly/test surface.
The data is saved in the batch and can be viewed at any time displayed as
##.## MPae N% A M% A/B, where;
##.## MPae = Pull Force in MPa or other measurement units (psi, Newtons or Nmm-2)
N% = Cohesive failure percentage
A = Cohesive failure layer
M% = Adhesion failure percentage
A/B = Intercoat adhesive failure layers
The data is saved in the batch and can be viewed at any time displayed as
##.## MPae N% A M% A/B, where;
##.## MPae = Pull Force in MPa or other measurement units (psi, Newtons or Nmm-2)
N% = Cohesive failure percentagef
A = Cohesive failure layer
M% = Adhesion failure percentagef
A/B = Intercoat adhesive failure layers
d The number of layers can be user-defined for each batch via Batch/New Batch/Number of Layers. This will affect the number of layers available for selection during attribute recording. The maximum number of layers available is five, excluding the substrate and glue.
e Or equivalent units.
f To the nearest 10%, in line with International Standards.
