USING 0mm,.mm O 0mm DOLLIES Prepare the surface of the dolly and the coating where the dolly is to be applied by roughing with the abrasive pad. Th de-grease and clean both surfaces using a suitable solvt and allow to dry. Mix equal quantities of the two part Araldite adhesive and apply a thin, ev layer to the prepared surface of the dolly. Araldite adhesive is supplied by Elcometer however, other adhesives can be used - see Section 5 Adhesives on page. Press the dolly firmly onto the prepared test surface and apply pressure to squeeze out excess adhesive which should th be wiped clean. 8

10 5 SECUING THE DOLLY (continued) Allow the adhesive to cure - see Section 5 Adhesives on page. 5 If testing on vertical surfaces, you may wish to tape the dolly in place during cure. If required, score the coating around the dolly using the dolly cutter provided. 5. TESTING COATINGS ON CONCETE USING 50mm DOLLIES Wh testing coatings on concrete using 50mm dollies, scoring of the coating down to, or into, the surface of the concrete may be required. If testing on coatings thicker than 0.5 mm (0 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 perpdicular to the coating and that the test area is not subjected to twisting or torque. To minimise heat and suppress dust, water lubrication may be required. Follow steps - in Section 5., making sure the dolly is positioned inside the cut ring. Concrete Substrate To score coatings thinner than 0.5 mm (0 mils), a sharp knife may be suf ficit to carefully score around the dolly once it has be secured in place by adhesive. 6 ATTACHING THE GAUGE TO THE DOLLY Pull up the quick connect coupling, place the actuator (with skirt fitted c) over the dolly th release the coupling to grip the dolly. 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. c Skirts for 0mm,.mm, 0mm and 50mm dollies and thin substrates are available - see Section. Dolly Skirts on page 0 for details. 9

11 Wh testing at height or on vertical surfaces, in order to prevt damage to the surrounding coating or harm to the user, it may be necessary to use the Magnetic Anchor Clamp accessory, part number T This connects to the lanyard ring on the top of the actuator to prevt the actuator from falling wh the dolly is pulled from the substrate. 7 PEFOMING THE TEST Press and hold the ON/OFF button to switch the gauge on. Ensure that the measuremt units, dolly size and pull rate are set as required, see section. Press the start softkey () to begin the test. Load is applied at the rate defined, displayed numerically on the scre and illustrated on the load bar. The load continues to increase at the defined rate until either: a) the dolly pulls off; b) the gauge maximum pull load / pressure has be reached (eg. 5MPa for a 0mm dolly) At this point, the gauge re-winds to zero and the user is asked if they wish to save the reading. --- indicates a reading outside of range If the maximum pull load / pressure has be reached, the gauge will not re-wind to zero until the default hold time of 0.5 seconds has elapsed. The gauge re-winds to zero at a set rate of.5mpa/s or equivalt. 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. - Dollies on page 8 for details. 0 6 ATTACHING THE GAUGE TO THE DOLLY (continued)

12 8 ASSESSING THE ESULTS Many National and International Standards including ISO 6 & ASTM D5, 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. 8. 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) c) Adhesive failure: Is a failure at the interface betwe 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. Glue failure: Wh no coating is prest on the dolly it must be recorded as a failure of the glue. This is normally due to incorrect or insufficit mixing of the compont parts of the adhesive, incompatibility betwe the adhesive, the coating, the dolly, and / or the test surface - see Section 5 - Securing the Dolly on page 8 for more information. Dolly Face Substrate a) 00% Cohesive Failure b) 00% Adhesive Failure Betwe Two Layers Key Dolly Face Glue Layer Layer Layer c) Glue Failure Substrate

13 8. EXAMINING THE DOLLY (COATINGS ON CONCETE) Wh testing coatings on concrete it is common for the adhesive bond betwe the coating and the concrete to exceed the strgth of the concrete itself. In this case concrete will be removed from the surface and will be se on the coating on the dolly face. 8 ASSESSING THE ESULTS (continued) Adhesive Failure Partial Coating Failure Coating Failure Concrete Failure Observing the test area will give additional information about the type of failure; adhesion and cohesion betwe differt layers of the coating. 9 BATCHING 9. BATCH FUNCTIONS The Elcometer 50 Model S gauge can store up to 60 readings in one batch and has the following batching functions: Batch/New Batch; Create a new batch - see Section 9. for further information. Batch/Op Existing Batch; Op an existing batch. Batch/Edit Batch/Clear Batch; Clear all readings within the batch - but leaving all batch header information. Batch/eview Batch; eview the readings, statistics and batch information - see Section 0 for further information. Batch/Edit Batch/Delete Batch; Delete the batch tirely from the gauge.

14 9 BATCHING (continued) Batch/Deleted eading/delete without Tag; Delete the last reading tirely. Batch/Deleted eading/delete with Tag; Delete the last reading but mark it as deleted in the batch memory. 9. CEATING 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 equipmt used; if a support ring was used and its dimsions, 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.0, visit. To create a new batch select Batch/New Batch and add the following criteria as required: Dolly Size & Pull ate; (Batch/New Batch/Dolly Size & Pull ate) Cutting Device; the type of cutting device used, if any, to score the coating around the dolly; (Batch/New Batch/Cutting Device) The dolly skirt type; (Batch/New Batch/Skirt Type) - Select 0mm Standard for Standard Skirt for 0,. and 0mm dollies; - Select 50mm Standard for Standard Skirt for 50mm dollies; - Select.mm Thin Substrate for Thin Substrate Skirt for.mm dollies; - Select 0mm Thin Substrate for Thin Substrate Skirt for 0mm dollies; Note: A new batch can not be created if a batch already exists. The existing batch must be deleted first.

15 These details can be added and amded until the first reading has be 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/eview Batch/Batch Information.

Dolly Skirts on page 0 for dimsions. 9 BATCHING (continued) 0 EVIEWING BATCH DATA 0. BATCH STATISTICS (Batch/eview Batch/Statistics) Displays statistical information for the batch including: Number of readings in the batch ( ) Average reading for the batch ( ) Lowest reading in the batch ( ) Highest reading in the batch ( ) ange ( ); the differce betwe the highest and lowest reading in the batch Standard Deviation ( ) Coefficit of Variation ( ) Statistics Batch Back Zoom+

16 Note: The calculation of standard deviation is based on the distribution of individual fracture strgth values being normal, that is forming a normal curve wh plotted as a frequcy 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. 0. BATCH EADINGS (Batch/eview Batch/eadings) Displays all measuremt data for each individual reading within the batch including: The reading value; Date and time stamp for each test; Test duration. Note: The test duration includes the hold time but does not include the time it takes for the gauge to re-wind to zero.
