Adhesion Testers > Elcometer 108
 The Elcometer 108 is an extremely versatile hydraulic adhesion tester which will cope with many adhesion test requirements. Tests can be made on flat or curved (concave and convex) surfaces.
A reusable, stainless steel dolly is adhered to the coating's surface and the force required to push the dolly from the surface is applied using the handle. The value of the force applied is displayed either on a digital display or with an analogue dial. For areas susceptible to explosion (e.g. inflammable areas) the analogue version should be chosen.
The Elcometer 108 is the ideal gauge for coatings on Tanks, Pipelines, etc
- Hand-powered and portable
- Ideal for site work
- Reusable stainless steel dollies
- Complete kit and carrying case
Elcometer Digital Adhesion Gauge Features include:
- Maximum Hold - displays the highest value reached.
- ±1% Reading Accuracy
- Backlight Display for dark areas
- Rubber protective casing
- Switchable Metric / Imperial Units
The Elcometer 108 can be used with curved dollies, making this the gauge for adhesion on pipelines, tanks, and other curved surfaces.
A wide range of curved dollies are available, each designed for a specific range of curvature. Convex (top illustration) and concave (bottom illustration) dollies are for use on external and internal curvatures respectively. For more information on curved dollies please contact Elcometer.

Elcometer 108 Hydraulic Adhesion Tester
The dolly is glued to the surface under test, making sure that the internal hole in the dolly is clear from adhesive.
The instrument is then attached to the dolly glued to the coating surface.
Turning the instruments handle increases the hydraulic pressure which forces the dolly away from the substrate.
The value of the force is displayed and recorded on the dial.
Pipe master heating tongs are supplied with the kit remove dollies from test pieces thus making the adhesion fully non-destructive. Used in accordance with ASTM D451 and ISO 4624 test methods.
Note: For ISO 4624 an additional dolly cutter is required (T99914009) as this test requires a coating to be cut around the dolly prior to testing
