Peel Force Testing (Thwing-Albert)

We use a Thwing-Albert Friction/Peel Tester (Model 225-1) to measure the peel force for various types of materials, adhesives and tapes. Testing is done according to ASTM D1876. The instrument has a 2000 g load cell and can measure samples of different widths at different test speeds.  The length of the peel can also be adjusted to accommodate the size of the test sample.  While the test speed can be adjusted, measurements can only be made at speeds of less than 22 inches per minute.
