Peel Testing

A peel test measures the properties and strength of an adhesive bond. Peel tests involve applying a tensile force to a flexible substrate that is bound by an adhesive to either another flexible substrate. This can be tape, thin film, or rubber, or a rigid substrate such as metal, or rigid plastic. A force measurement system is required for the peel test.

  • Interface Solution

    Interface’s 1200 Standard Precision LowProfile™ Load Cell is installed into the peel test frame. The peel test is conducted, and force results captured by the load cell are sent and synced using the SI-USB4 4 Channel USB Interface Module. These results can be displayed on the customer’s PC with supplied software.

  • Results

    The peel test was properly conducted using Interface’s low profile load cells. The customer was able to determine the strength of the adhesive bond being tested.

  • Peel test frame
  • Customer laptop

How it Works


  1. The 1200 Standard Precision LowProfile™ Load Cell is installed into the customer’s peel test frame.
  2. The adhesive bond is applied to a substrate. The peel test is conducted.
  3. The amount of force used during the peel test is captured by the SI-USB4 4 Channel USB Interface Module, and can be displayed when connected to the customer’s PC with the supplied software.
