Therefore most prefer to use this test

Therefore most prefer to use this test. A coating with a high degree of cohesive strength may appear to have worse adhesion. Pull off test is the most commonly used test. Both these degrees are taken into consideration to determine the test results. At an angle called the vertex the point of knife is used to lift up the coating from the material. . The test fails only at the weakest point.
The force applied to pull of the stub or the force with which the stub withstood the pressure determines the test. Some of the well recognized methods for adhesion testers are knife test, tape test and pull off tests. The knife test is another method for adhesion testers. Coating is generally used for high engineering use and there are a number of methods through which we can determine as to how well has coating bonded to a substance.
For engineering requirements and demands coatings are becoming very popular. There are two variants in this test: X cut tape test and cross hatch tape test. It is a quantitative test where a loading fixture known as a stub is fixed by an Aluminum mylar adhesive to a coating.Adhesion testers are used to determine how well a coating bond to a substance or how well an adhesive bonds two different substances. This is the most widely used test for determining the bond.
 This is performed when pressure sensitive tapes are applied and removed over cuts of the coating. To determine if the adhesion of a coating to another substance is adequate or not the knife is picked at the coating. This is a very subjective test and the value or result depends on the person performing it. Adhesion testers function on mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic pressure.
 The result or the performance of this test depends on eth degree of difficulty to remove the coating and the size of the removed coating. His is a very simple test and requires a utility knife. All these tests are very important for an engineers point of view and only after the test succeeds can they be used for any activity or purpose. The former one is used at job sites and the latter one is used in laboratories on coating less than 5 mils.
 The third kind of test is the tape test. With the help of a knife and a cutting guide two cuts are made on the coating surface. In this method the pressure applied is the maximum than compared to other tests. These different adhesion testers are performed so that we can determine the bond between two substances or between a coating and a substance. For coating to function properly it is important that the adhesive sticks to the substance properly. By using a pull off adhesion tester pressure is applied t the surface until the stub is pulled off. The strength is counted in pounds per square inch. After a test is performed it is important to record if the test failed with the adhesive or the coating.
