Tensile adhesion is one of the methods used to determine the adhesion of a coating either to the substrate or to another coating in a protective coating system and this method is often referred to as the pull-off test.

There are National and International standards that describe the use of portable tensile adhesion testers and BS EN ISO 4624 and ASTM D4541 both describe several different test apparatus for pull-off testing; however, the basic approach of gluing a test dolly to the coated surface and then exerting a perpendicular force to the surface in an effort to remove both the dolly and the coating from the substrate is common to these standards.
