Adhesion testers are used in many industries to measure the adhesion of coatings applied on metal, wood, concrete, and similar substrates. Automatic testers can come with heavy-duty hydraulic pumps and high-grade industrial pressure sensors. Adhesion testing is essential to minimize the risk of poor adhesion, since premature failure of the coating can result in additional reworking costs. Various different testing methods are available, including pull-off adhesion tests, push-off adhesion tests, and cross-cut adhesion tests.
