4.1 FITTING THE BATTERIES

Each gauge is supplied with 16 x AA NiMH rechargeable batteries and battery charger.

To insert or replace the batteries:

1 Unscrew the battery cap (turning anti-clockwise) and remove the

battery cover. 2 Insert 8 batteries taking care to ensure correct polarity. 3 Refit the cover and tighten the battery cap.

Each fully charged set of batteries last for approximately will 200 pulls up to 25MPa (3600psi) at 1MPa/s ( psi/s) using a 20mm dolly.145

The battery charger supplied can re-charge a set of 8 cells in approximately 5 hours. Care should be taken to ensure the correct polarity when fitting the batteries into the charger.

The battery condition is indicated by the battery symbol at the top right of the display. When ( ) there is insufficient charge remaining to perform >100 tests, an indication of the approximate number of tests remaining - based on pulls to 25MPa (3600psi), using a 20mm dolly - is also displayed below the battery symbol.

The LCD display can be powered via USB. When connected, is displayed at the top right of the display allowing various functions to be undertaken including batch setup, review and transfer of data to PC or mobile device. Pull tests can not be performed using USB as it does not provide suf ficient power to run the adhesion gauge motor.

5 SECURING THE DOLLY

5.1 USING 10mm, 14.2mm OR 20mm DOLLIES

1 Prepare the surface of the dolly and the coating where the dolly is to be applied by roughening with

the abrasive pad. Then de-grease and clean both surfaces using a suitable solvent and allow to dry.

2 Mix equal quantities of the two part Araldite adhesive and apply a thin, even layer to the prepared

surface of the dolly.

Araldite adhesive is supplied by Elcometer however, other adhesives can be used - see Section 15 ‘Adhesives’ on page 21.

3 Press the dolly firmly onto the prepared test surface and apply pressure to squeeze out excess

adhesive which should then be wiped clean.

www.elcometer.com9

4 Allow the adhesive to cure - see Section 15 ‘Adhesives’ on page 21. If testing on vertical surfaces, you may wish to tape the dolly in place during cure.4 5 If required, score the coating around the dolly using the dolly cutter provided.

5.2 TESTING COATINGS ON CONCRETE USING 50mm DOLLIES

When testing coatings on concrete using 50mm dollies, scoring of the coating down to, or into, the surface of the concrete may be required.

1 If testing on coatings thicker than 0.5 mm (20 mils) use the 50mm dolly cutter and

arbor (mounted in a drill press or hand drill) to cut a “ring” into the concrete.

Ensure that the scoring is perpendicular to the coating and that the test area is not 4

subjected to twisting or torque. To minimise heat and suppress dust, water lubrication may be required.

2 Follow steps 1-4 in Section 5.1, making sure the dolly is positioned inside the cut

“ring”.

To score coatings thinner than 0.5 mm (20 mils), a sharp knife may be sufficient to carefully score around the dolly once it has been secured in place by adhesive.

5 SECURING THE DOLLY (continued)

Concrete Substrate

6 ATTACHING THE GAUGE TO THE DOLLY

1 Pull up the quick connect coupling, place the actuator (with skirt fitted ) over the

dolly then release the coupling to grip the dolly.

4 The quick connect coupling is not a bayonet fitting. Do not attempt to push the actuator on to

the dolly without lifting the quick connect coupling.

Skirts for 10mm, 14.2mm, 20mm and 50mm dollies and thin substrates are available - see Se etails.ction 14.3 ‘Dolly Skirts’ on page 20 for d

www.elcometer.com

6 ATTACHING THE GAUGE TO THE DOLLY (continued)

When testing at height or on vertical surfaces, in order to prevent damage to the surrounding coating or harm to

the user, it may be necessary to use the Magnetic Anchor Clamp accessory, part number T99923797. This

connects to the lanyard ring on the top of the actuator to prevent the actuator from falling when the dolly is pulled

from the substrate.

1 Press and hold the ON/OFF button to switch the gauge on. 2 Ensure that the measurement units, dolly size and pull rate are set as required, see section 4. 3 Press the start softkey (4) to begin the test. Load is applied at the rate defined, displayed

numerically on the screen and illustrated on the load bar. 4 The load continues to increase at the defined rate until either: a) the dolly pulls off; b) the gauge maximum pull load / pressure has been reached (eg. 25MPa for a 20mm dolly) At this point, the gauge re-winds to ‘zero’ and the user is asked if they wish to save the reading.

4 ‘---’ indicates a reading outside of range

4 If the maximum pull load / pressure has been reached, the gauge will not re-wind to ‘zero’ until the default

hold time of 0.5 seconds has elapsed.

4 The gauge re-winds to ‘zero’ at a set rate of 1.5MPa/s or equivalent.

5 Pull up the quick connect coupling to release the dolly and assess the results, see Section 8.

The stop softkey (<) can be pressed at any time during the test. If pressed, the user is asked if they wish to save the reading and the gauge re-winds to ‘zero’. If saved, the “stopped” reading is included in the statistics.

Dollies can be reused after cleaning until either the top of the dolly (where it is held in position by the quick connect coupling) is severely deformed or the dolly surface is no longer flat. Additional dollies are available from Elcometer or your local supplier - see Section 14.1 - ‘Dollies’ on page 18 for details.

7 PERFORMING THE TEST

8.1 EXAMINING THE DOLLY

a) Cohesive Failure: The coating fails within the body of a

coating layer leaving the same coating on the surface and on

the dolly face.

b) Adhesive failure: Is a failure at the interface between layers

(intercoat) where one pulls away from the other. The

“coating” on the dolly face will not be the same as that on the

test area.

c) Glue failure: When no coating is present on the dolly it must be

recorded as a failure of the glue. This is normally due to

incorrect or insufficient mixing of the component parts of the

adhesive, incompatibility between the adhesive, the coating,

the dolly, and / or the test surface - see Section 5 - ‘Securing

the Dolly’ on page 8 for more information.

Many National and International Standards including ISO 4624 & ASTM D4541, require the user to record not only the pull-off force but also the nature of the fracture by examining the bottom of the dolly and assessing the adhesive / cohesive failure.

www.elcometer.com

8 ASSESSING THE RESULTS (continued)

8.2 EXAMINING THE DOLLY (COATINGS ON CONCRETE)

When testing coatings on concrete it is common for the adhesive bond between the coating and the concrete to exceed the strength of the concrete itself. In this case concrete will be removed from the surface and will be seen on the coating on the dolly face.

Observing the test area will give additional information about the type of failure; adhesion and cohesion between different layers of the coating.

Ÿ Batch/Deleted Reading/Delete without Tag; Delete the last reading entirely.

Ÿ Batch/Deleted Reading/Delete with Tag; Delete the last reading but mark it as deleted in the

batch memory.

9.2 CREATING A NEW BATCH

Many Standards require the user to record not only the pull-off force and the nature of the fracture but also details of the test equipment used; if a support ring was used and its dimensions, if, and by what means, the coating was cut around the dolly.

This additional information is recorded within the batch header and can be transferred to PC to be included on any report within ElcoMaster. For further information on ElcoMaster™ 2.0, visit www.elcometer.com.

To create a new batch select Batch/New Batch and add the following criteria as required:

Ÿ Dolly Size & Pull Rate; (Batch/New Batch/Dolly Size & Pull Rate) Ÿ Cutting Device; the type of cutting device used, if any, to score the coating around the dolly;

(Batch/New Batch/Cutting Device)

Ÿ The dolly skirt type; (Batch/New Batch/Skirt Type)

- Select ‘20mm Standard’ for Standard Skirt for 10, 14.2 and 20mm dollies;

- Select ‘50mm Standard’ for Standard Skirt for 50mm dollies;

- Select ‘14.2mm Thin Substrate’ for Thin Substrate Skirt for 14.2mm dollies;

- Select ‘20mm Thin Substrate’ for Thin Substrate Skirt for 20mm dollies;

Note: A new batch can not be created if a batch already exists. The existing batch must be deleted first.

www.elcometer.com

9 BATCHING (continued)

Note: The Elcometer 510 dolly skirt has an integrated support ring, therefore

identifying the dolly skirt used records the use of a support / bearing ring as required by some standards, together with the support ring dimensions - see Section 14.3 ‘Dolly Skirts’ on page 20 for dimensions.

These details can be added and amended until the first reading has been stored in the batch after which no changes can be made.

This information is saved in the batch header and can be viewed at any time via Batch/Review Batch/Batch Information.

Note: The calculation of standard deviation is based on the distribution of individual fracture strength values being

normal, that is forming a normal curve when plotted as a frequency chart. If adhesion values for pulls that are not completed are included in the calculation, i.e. pulled to a limit value or maximum and not to fracture, the distribution will not be normal and the standard deviation calculation will not be mathematically correct. For the purpose of assessing the distribution of values in this case, however, the calculation will be included as though all the dollies were pulled to coating failure and it should be noted that the resulting calculation is for guidance only .

10.2 BATCH READINGS (Batch/Review Batch/Readings)

15 ADHESIVES

The adhesive supplied with the Elcometer 510 is Araldite Standard, a two-pack epoxy paste which is

mixed from approximately equal volumes of the two components. Measurement by eye is sufficient. When mixed it should be used within one hour. Curing Times: 24 hours at 25°C (77°F); 3 hours at 60°C (140°F)

Araldite is suitable for warm and hot environments. Lower temperatures can require extended curing

times of up to 3 days or more. The expiry date of the adhesive should be checked before use. Adhesive which has expired should not be used.
