t'pot- Tensile Pull Off Tester
t’pot™ Tensile Pull Off Tester
The t’pot™ Tensile Pull Off Tester covers a variety of pull test procedures for evaluating the tensile strength of a substrate material or the bond strength of a repair or overlay material. Pull off testings are used on many different substrates and repair materials. The t’pot™ is simple to use, with a self-aligning base that can be applied on various surfaces. Always refer to the specified test method or details on dolly size, load rate and test time.

Stroke Indication Pin
The stroke indication pin species the applied tension on the dolly. The pin moves upwards while the hand crank is turned in the + direction. For each pull off test reset the stroke indication pin to 0 or start position by turning in the – direction.
