• Proceq DY-216 covering most applications. Recommended for elastic surfaces due to higher requirement on load rate. • Proceq DY-225 required for compliance with ASTM C 1583. Typically used for testing of fibre reinforced polymers bonded to concrete structures. The table below shows the recommended working range with a selection of test discs to help you ascertain which model is most suited to your application.

5. Performing a Pull-Off Test with Proceq DY-2 Proceq DY-2 is designed to make it very easy to work according to the various standards for pull- off testing. It allows the user to specify a load rate and provides a graphical display (via DY-Link software) of the effective load rate achieved during the test.
Test disc • Waiting for the adhesive to set. • Fixing the draw bolt to the test disc. (Proceq DY-2 test discs use a 10mm draw bolt. 8mm and 12mm draw bolts are also available). • Fit the draw bolt to the coupling.
Pull-off testing from a single side, is best suited for rigid substrates. Deformable substrates or elas- tic coatings can lead to a falsification of the results of a pull-off test. Proceq DY-2 provides the tools to help in the analysis when testing on such materials.
Many standards also require the user to record the mode of failure in varying degrees of complex- ity. Proceq DY-2 allows the user to record the failure mode with the test result for comprehensive reporting. The possibility to record the failure is flexible enough to accommodate the requirements of the various standards.
6. Accessories 6.1 Working with large test discs The standard Proceq DY-2 configuration can be used with test discs up to 50mm diameter or 50 x 50mm square. Adapter plate for large test discs The adapter plate (Part No. 346 10 530) accommodates all test discs in the Proceq range.
Fixing kit for vertical and overhead surfaces Note: Proceq test discs require an M10 draw bolt. The M8 and M12 draw bolts are for use with test discs not supplied by Proceq. For the 25kN instrument an M10 draw bolt is required for forces above 16kN.
