- Description
Description
PosiTest AT-A & AT-M are professional pull-off adhesion testers from DeFelsko designed to measure the bond strength of coatings to substrates such as steel, aluminum, concrete, and composites. Whether you need the speed and repeatability of the AT-A (automatic, motor-driven) model or the portability and simplicity of the AT-M (manual) model, both deliver reliable, standards-compliant results for quality control, inspection, and failure analysis.
Why choose PosiTest AT-A vs AT-M?
-
AT-A (Automatic): Motor-driven pull at a controlled, programmable rate for greater repeatability and reduced operator influence. Ideal for lab and high-spec field work where documentation and consistency are critical.
-
AT-M (Manual): Rugged hand-pump instrument for field flexibility—no power required. Lightweight, easy to use, and dependable in remote sites across Iraq.
Key Features
-
wide range of dollies (e.g., 20/50 mm for concrete; 10/14/20 mm for metals) covering low to very high bond strengths.
-
On-board memory & statistics (model-dependent) to store readings, max pull, failure mode, and test parameters.
-
Fast setup: Self-alignment loading fixture helps apply uniform pull, minimizing off-axis errors.
-
Standards compliance: Designed to meet common methods such as ASTM D4541, ISO 4624, and related specifications used in Iraq’s industrial projects.
-
Rugged build: Sealed, field-ready design for refineries, pipelines, tank farms, marine structures, and facility maintenance.
-
Reporting made easy: Compatible with DeFelsko’s PosiSoft® solutions for report generation, data transfer, and archiving.
