What Is A Peel Strength Tester, And How Does It Work?

A peel strength tester is a device used to measure the force required to peel apart two bonded materials. It typically consists of clamps to hold the materials, a motorized mechanism to apply a controlled force, and sensors to measure the force applied. During testing, the bonded materials are secured between the clamps, and the tester applies a controlled force perpendicular to the bonded surface, gradually separating them. The force required for separation is recorded by the sensors, providing a measure of the peel strength. This testing helps assess the adhesive strength and integrity of various materials used in industries such as packaging, automotive, and construction.
