Elcometer 510 Automatic Pull-Off Adhesion Tester
Prove the bond. The Elcometer 510 uses an automatic hydraulic pump
for smooth, continuous pressure — delivering consistent, repeatable
pull-off adhesion results in the lab or out in the field.

Overview
Measure coating adhesion with confidence
Pull-off adhesion testing gives you a definitive, quantified
measure of how well a coating is bonded to its substrate. The
Elcometer 510's automatic hydraulic pump applies smooth,
continuous pressure at a controlled rate — removing operator
variability and delivering repeatable, reproducible results.
Four interchangeable dolly sizes cover everything from
high-strength coatings to concrete.
10mm8 – 100 MPa (1200 – 14400 psi)
14.2mm4 – 50 MPa (600 – 7200 psi)
20mm2 – 25 MPa (300 – 3600 psi)
50mm0.3 – 4 MPa (50 – 580 psi)

Kit size and model — pick the right pairing
Every kit shares the same automatic gauge and accepts all four
dolly sizes. Select a kit by the dollies you test with most,
then choose Model S for preset pull rates or Model T for fully
adjustable rates, Bluetooth®, and onboard batch memory.
Optional standard & thin-substrate skirts (Elcometer 506 compatible)
Optional magnetic anchor clamp for vertical or at-height testing
