Purpose
The BOND-TEST is used to conduct a pull-off test in accordance with ASTM C1583, "Test Method
for Tensile Strength of Concrete Surfaces and the Bond Strength or Tensile Strength of Concrete
Repair and Overlay Materials by Direct Tension (Pull-off Method)." The obtained pull-off strength
can be used for the following purposes:
To evaluate the in-place bond strength between a repair overlay and the substrate
To evaluate the in-place tensile strength of concrete or other materials
To evaluate the effect of surface preparation procedures on the tensile strength of the substrate
before applying a repair material or overlay
