    Determine if an adhesive or an epoxy creates a strong enough bond on a surface. Often used in construction and manufacturing, these testers measure the amount of force needed before an adhesive pulls off. They run on batteries, so you can use them anywhere around your facility or jobsite. Transfer data, such as the date and time of each test, to your computer with the included USB—no software download needed. All meet ASTM and ISO standards for adhesion testing.
    The 20 mm dollies that come with these testers are the most common and work well for super glue and standard epoxies. To test, attach a dolly to your surface and wait until the adhesive has fully cured. For the best results, score or separate the test area from the surrounding surface with the included cutter before pressing the tester down onto the dolly.

    Peel Testers

    Calculate how hard it is to peel tape off a surface, separate the layers within a laminate, or unfasten a hook and loop. These testers are often used for prototyping and quality control with packaging and electronics to check the bond strength between two materials. To test, stick your sample onto the testing tray and secure one end of it to the force gauge above. The tray moves as the force gauge pulls your sample up, so the sample is always peeling at a 90° angle. Program your test settings on the display. You can start or stop the test manually, set it to run for a certain amount of time, or let the test run until your sample is completely peeled off. All testers meet ASTM standards for peel testing.
    Use the USB cord to transfer data and view measurements with the included computer software. The software identifies the first peak, or the maximum force recorded when your material first starts to peel. It also generates graphs and makes it possible to export data into a CSV file.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Testers cannot be sold to the listed areas due to energy efficiency requirements.

    Friction Testers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Force Gauges. Friction Testers.
    Check that your products have the right balance of grip and slip. For quality control, these testers are commonly used to measure friction generated by packaging materials such as plastic film and cardboard. They’re also used in critical applications, such as to confirm separator film in EV batteries is slippery enough to resist tearing during assembly.
    These testers are both easier to use and more sophisticated than performing a tilt test or dragging a force gauge by hand. Just place a sample of material on the platform and dial in your setting on the built-in screen. The test weight drags across your sample, generating readings for both static and dynamic coefficient of friction (COF), the force required to first move an object and keep it in motion. The included software charts measurements in real time on your PC for analysis and documentation. All meet ASTM D1894 standards for friction testers.
    17 oz.—Testers with 17 oz. force capacity are suitable for measuring materials that you’d expect to slide, including plastic and cardboard.
    4 lb.—Testers with 4 lb. force capacity are for rougher surfaces with a higher COF, such as textured rubber.
