Adhesives; Verifying The Gauge Calibration - Elcometer 506 Guia Del Usuario

10 ADHESIVES

The adhesive supplied with the Elcometer 506 is Araldite Standard, a two-pack epoxy paste which
is mixed from approximately equal volumes of the two components. Measurement by eye is
sufficient. When mixed it should be used within one hour. Curing Times: 24 hours at 25°C (77°F);
3 hours at 60°C (140°F)
Araldite is suitable for warm and hot environments. Lower temperatures can require extended
curing times of up to 3 days or more. The expiry date of the adhesive should be checked before
use. Adhesive which has expired should not be used.
Unused adhesive must be disposed of as special waste unless it has been fully cured. To dispose
of excess adhesive at the end of its shelf life simply mix the remaining material and allow it to cure
before disposal.
Other adhesives are available. The suitability of any adhesive should be determined by the user.
Some coatings can be adversely affected by adhesives. Some adhesives can be contaminated by
coating environments, solvents etc.

11 VERIFYING THE GAUGE CALIBRATION

The calibration of the gauge can be verified in the field using the Elcometer Adhesion Verification
Unit (AVU), part number T99923924, which connects to the gauge. The pressure reading on the
Elcometer 506 indicator is compared with the reading of the gauge pressure on the AVU to verify
the calibration. For further information contact Elcometer or visit www.elcometer.com
