NEW TITLE HERE

DeFelsko PosiTest® AT-A Automatic Adhesion Tester for testing coatings adhesion on metal, wood, concrete, and other rigid substrates. The AT-A’s electronically-controlled hydraulic pump is push-button-operated, eliminating the need for manual priming, or pumping of the hydraulic system.

PosiTest AT-A also features a new high-resolution, impact and scratch-resistant, colour Touch Screen display with controls identical to the digital keypad. A full digital keypad allows the user to select pull-off pressure, pull rate, dolly size, as well as to change measurement units or store readings in the gauge. User-selectable pull rate, pull limit, dolly size, and hold time, ensure conformance to international standards for a wide range of test applications.

Additional new features of the Automatic Adhesion Tester include the ability to record Pass/Fail results and identify the type of coating failure – cohesion, adhesion, and glue failures. Internal memory stores data for up to 100,000 pulls in up to 1,000 batches, including maximum pull-off pressure, rate of pull, test duration, dolly size, and the pass/fail information.

The rubberized, impact-resistant end caps on the PosiTest Automatic Adhesion Tester provide an ergonomic grip, and stable, skid-resistant footing. AT-A also features a built-in, rechargeable NiMH battery, shoulder strap, and AC power option for greater versatility and convenience of use. Both models of PosiTest Adhesion Tester have the PosiTest Self-Aligning Dolly System which allows the dolly-head to articulate in the actuator to compensate for uneven surfaces, making possible a proper, vertical pull, and ensuring reliable, repeatable test results.

Features:

  • Portable; requires no external power source
  • Pull-rate indicator allows user to monitor and adjust rate of pull
  • Internal Memory stores maximum pull-off pressure, rate of pull, test duration, and dolly size
  • Environmentally-sealed enclosure is weatherproof, dustproof, and shockproof; ingress protection IP65
  • Self-Aligning Dolly System to enable accurate measurements on smooth or uneven surfaces
  • 10, 14, 20, or 50 mm dollies maximize capability and accuracy across a wide range of bond strengths:
    • 10 mm: 10000 psi (70 MPa)
    • 14 mm: 6000 psi (40 MPa)
    • 20 mm: 3000 psi (20 MPa)
    • 50 mm: 480 psi (3.3 MPa)
    • 50×50 mm: 375 psi (2.585 MPa)
  • Large, easy-to-read LCD display of pressure, rate of pull, and holds maximum test value
  • Calibration and certification to + 1% accuracy, using NIST-traceable load cell
  • 2-year manufacturer’s warranty
  • Conforms to national and international standards including ASTM D4541/D7234, ISO 4624/16276-1, AS/NZS 1580.408.5 and others

Features Unique to the updated PosiTest AT-A Automatic Adhesion Tester include:

  • Electronically-controlled hydraulic pump; automatically applies smooth and continuous pull-off pressure, reducing effort and risk of user influence on pulling process
  • Pull-off strength of up to 3500 psi (24 MPa, 7550 N) with 20 mm dollies
  • Full digital keypad controls of all aspects of the adhesion test
  • Impact-resistant, high-resolution, colour Touch Screen display with fully redundant keypad, enables operation with or without gloves
  • User-selectable dolly size, pull rate, pull limit, pull-off pressure, hold time, memory storage at the push of a button
  • Wireless connection to your smart device using free PosiTector mobile app to create and share customized, professional PDF reports
  • Record results as Pass/Fail, and the nature of the failure – cohesion, adhesion, glue failure
  • Compatible with PosiSoft Desktop, PosiTector App, PosiSoft.net, and PosiSoft USB Drive
  • Environmentally-sealed metal enclosure ingress-protected to IP65
  • Impact and scratch-resistant display
  • Heavy-duty hydraulic pump with high-grade industrial pressure sensor
  • Rubberized, impact-resistant end caps for sure, comfortable grip, and skid resistant footing
  • Built-in, rechargeable battery performs 200 or more test on a charge; testing can continue on AC-power while battery is being recharged
  • Universal AC-adaptor battery charger
