PosiTest AT-A PosiTest - Automatic Adhesion Tester

The Positest AT-A Automatic Adhesion Tester measures the force required to pull a specified test area of coating away from a substrate using hydraulic pressure. An electronically controlled hydraulic pump automatically applies smooth and continuous pull-off pressure. The pump greatly reduces user effort and the risk of influencing the pulling process.

The AT-A's built-in rechargeable battery performs over 200 tests per charge. The supplied AC adapter / charger allows you to continue testing with AC power while the battery recharges.

The AT-A is features an environmentally sealed enclosure. It is weatherproof, dustproof and shockproof. Meets and even or exceeds IP65 rating.

Simple

Portable, hand-operated instrument requires no external power source – ideal for lab and field use.
Large, easy-to-read LCD
Pull Rate Indicator – allows operator to easily monitor and adjust the rate of pull in accordance with international test methods.
Easily select dolly sizes, change measurement units or store readings, with the touch of a button
Conversion charts not required – tester automatically calculates pressure based on dolly size
Inexpensive, single-use dollies eliminate cleaning re-use and can be kept as a permanent record
Each kit comes with everything needed for testing

Quality hydraulic pump can be used in any position
Rugged carrying case
One year warranty

Accurate

Every AT-100 Adhesion Tester pressure system is calibrated and certified to ± 1% accuracy using an NIST traceable load cell
Self-aligning dolly enables accurate measurements on smooth or uneven surfaces
Hi-grade, industrial pressure sensor ensures continued accuracy
Conforms with ASTM D4541/D7234, ISO 4624, SSPC-CS 23.00/AWS C2.23/NACE No. 12, and others

Versatile

Internal Memory stores maximum pull-off pressure, rate of pull, test duration and dolly size for up to 200 pulls
Optional software available for downloading to a computer
LCD displays pressure value in psi or MPa
10, 14, 20 or 50 mm dollies maximize capability and accuracy across a wide range of bond strengths
