Weighted Hand Roller

The weighted hand roller is designed to meet the requirements of ASTM and PSTC test methods and weighs 4.5 lbs (2.04 kg).  This roller provides consistent pressure when adhering adhesive test specimens to a test plate or substrate for peel adhesion testing. The design limits operator influence on the pressure exerted and also allows the roller to be removed easily for calibration certification and replacement.

2000g Manual Pressure Sensitive Tape Adhesion Tester with Steel Roller for Peel Strength & Holding Force Testing (2kg Hand-Operated Adhesive Tester)

Caltech India is the leading manufacturer and supplier of CES 197 Weighted Hand Roller. It is also known as 2000g Manual Pressure Sensitive Tape Adhesion Tester with Steel Roller. The Adhesive Test Standard Hand Roller (2KG) is a precision tool designed to ensure uniform pressure application during adhesion testing of pressure-sensitive tapes, films, and laminates. Constructed with a durable rolling wheel and ergonomic handle, the 2000 gram roller provides consistent force distribution across the test specimen, eliminating variability caused by manual application. It is widely used in laboratories, quality control departments, and production facilities to guarantee reliable and repeatable adhesion test results. The CES 197 Standard Hand Roller is designed to meet the requirements of ASTM and PSTC test methods and provides a consistent pressure when adhering adhesive test specimens to a test plate or substrate for peel adhesion testing. The design of this weighted hand roller limits operator influence on the pressure exerted and also allows the roller to be removed easily for calibration certification and replacement.

Caltech Instruments offers a range of standard hand rollers to complement your ASTM, PSTC, AFERA, FED and FINAT adhesive preparation. The Hand Rollers are manufactured to allow the easy removal of the roll for calibration and replacement purposes. The hand roller frame is made of aluminum and is Teflon coated for ease of cleaning and maintenance.

CES 197 Steel Pressure Rollers are required to be used to press the self-adhesive material onto the surface of the test panels. Due to self weight of 2 Kgs. These must be able to apply the necessary pressure and be designed in such a way that operating errors are impossible. These precision Steel Adhesive Test Standard Roller with rubber is used for Peel Strength & Holding Force Testing of 2 Kgs.

The best feature of a 2 kg pressure steel roller for tape pressure during testing is its ability to apply a consistent and uniform pressure, ensuring repeatable results for material quality control. This is crucial in evaluating the adhesive properties of tapes and other materials.

Pressure Sensitive Roller provides:
– Consistent pressure: The roller’s weight ensures a consistent pressure is applied, minimizing variability in test results.
– Uniform Application: The steel roller’s smooth surface ensures uniform application of pressure, reducing errors caused by uneven surfaces. The consistent pressure and uniform application enable repeatable results, making it ideal for quality control and material testing. Refer the standards method of test for pressure sensitive adhesive tapes and sheets.
