Definition: Adhesion meter (also known as adhesive tester) is a device used to measure the adhesion of a material with a specific surface or part, such as a metal part, rubber, plastic or ceramic. The adhesion meter works by measuring how much force is needed to separate two surfaces that are not contact. The process involves applying a pressure to one surface and then slowly pulling it away from the other. The test will show whether there is a weak spot between the surfaces or if they are touching tightly. An adhesion meter typically consists of a sensor, which measures the force required to separate the surfaces; a measuring head that can be moved to detect any areas of contact or separation; and a clamp that holds down both surfaces until the test is complete. The measurement can be done with forceps (a tool used for removing small parts from the surface) or with a screwdriver. Adhesion meters are commonly used in manufacturing, automotive industry, construction, and other industries to assess the adhesion of various materials. They are also used in research and testing to evaluate the performance of different adhesives.
