The apparatus is basically a dynamometer fitted with a load cell and high resolution digital display unit. The direct tensile force ia applied by rotating the hand wheel.  The 16 kN capacity and the high resolution assure a wide working range ideal for a vast number of materials and applications.

The apparatus is mainly used to evaluate the bond strength of two layers of concrete or the adhesive strength of surface coatings (e.g. cement plaster, lime, wall plaster etc.) on its support.

It is supplied complete with: aluminium test discs 20 and 50 mm dia., screw bolt, and carrying case.
