Expand Your Tester with a 50mm Conversion Kit

Standard 20mm dollies work beautifully for high-strength coatings on steel substrates. However, attempting to test low bond strength materials like concrete overlays, thick plastics, or wood with a small probe often skews your data. Upgrading your existing gauge with a specialized 50mm conversion kit expands your measurement capabilities without requiring you to buy an entirely new machine.

Why Lower Bond Testing Requires Larger Surface Areas

Testing delicate or brittle coatings requires spreading the hydraulic pulling force across a significantly wider footprint. This larger area lowers the overall pressure density, allowing the gauge to capture the subtle tensile properties of weaker bonds precisely.

Key technical advantages include:

• Substrate Scope Expansion: Convert your standard high-pressure paint tester into a low-pressure masonry and concrete inspector instantly.

• Enhanced Resolution at Low Pressures: The larger surface area allows the internal sensor to register minor force changes with high fidelity.

• Seamless Hardware Integration: The kit includes a dedicated 50mm standoff adapter that snaps onto your existing quick-coupling actuator effortlessly.

• Full Standard Alignment: This simple attachment allows your current instrument to meet strict ASTM C1583 and EN 1542 masonry test specifications.

Conversion Kit Configuration and Range Modifiers

Adapter Tooling	Pressure Scaling	Ideal Bond Range	Primary Application
Standard 20mm Setup	1x Baseline	0.7 to 20 MPa	Industrial Paint on Steel
50mm Conversion Kit	0.16x Reduced	0.2 to 3.5 MPa	Concrete, Wood, & Overlays

Quick Upgrade Steps for Field Inspections

Swapping your gear takes less than sixty seconds. Simply unscrew your standard base standoff, thread the 50mm adapter sleeve onto the actuator head, and update your gauge settings to use the larger footprint calculation.

Pro Tip: Always select the 50mm dolly size in your digital gage menu to ensure the internal software adjusts its mathematical formula correctly.
