DY-2 Family Pull-Off Testing


Applications

•Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Measures the adhesive strength of applied coatings e.g. plastic or concrete coatings, mortars, plasters, bituminous coats

•Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  Determining the surface strength of concrete and other materials

•Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  The pull off tester is ideal for the evaluation of tensile strength in concrete renovation



The Proceq™ DY-2 family of automated pull-off testers covers the complete range of pull-off applications with unmatched ease of operation and a unique capability to store a complete record of the test.



Pull-off testing is one of the most widely used test methods in the construction industry.



An indispensable for the diagnosis of structural damage to buildings and checking complete renovation work.



Complete range of applications covered

The three models of the DY-2 Family differentiate by a maximum pulling force. While DY-216 (15.5 kN, 3485 lbf) is covering most applications, DY-206 (6 kN, 1349 lbf) has an increased accuracy for low strength applications such as testing adhesive strength of mortars and renders. DY-225 (25 kN, 5620 lbf) can be used for very high strength applications such as testing of fiber reinforced polymers bonded to concrete structures or testing the bond strength of repair and overlay materials.



Constant load rate

One of the major influences on the result of a pull-off test is the operator influence in the application of a constant load rate. The newly introduced DY-2 models with their integrated, feedback-controlled motors remove this variable completely, by providing a fully automated test at a constant load rate, which can be verified.



Unique in parameter setting

The DY-2 is further unique in that it records every single test parameter required by the specification: Time and date of the test, test disc size, maximum load applied, automatic calculation of bond strength, applied load rate with graphical record, complete time of test as well as the failure mode.



For the very first time, the operator is able to provide a complete record of the pull-off test, proving that the test was carried out in accordance with the applicable standard.
