Adhesion Testing Device
The adhesive strength testing apparatus is used to test the adhesive strength of galvanized layers conforming to ASTM A123/A123M and DIN 50978 standards. This apparatus is suitable for all flat hot-dip galvanized surfaces.
Application
It can be used with all flat hot-galvanized surface areas. Steel pipes can also be tested, but if the sample is less than 200 mm, a V-bearing must be used instead of the usual three-point support.
Standard
DIN 50978: Testing of metallic coatings; adherence of hot dip zinc coatings

Test methods
This device is suitable for all flat hot-dip galvanized surfaces. Steel pipes can also be tested; however, if the specimen is smaller than 200 mm, a V-shaped bearing must be used instead of the standard three-point support. The special design of the apparatus allows testing in all positions, including with the head facing forward.
A marking template is used to indicate the impact points in the test area according to the applied standard. The device is cocked and adjusted between two marked points. When triggered, the hammer strikes the specimen, leaving a linear indentation. This process is repeated over the distance between the marked points. If the galvanized coating shows no noticeable flaking between impacts, the adhesion strength is considered good.
If only a rough estimation of adhesion strength is required, the marking template is not necessary.
