Contact SupplierSurface coatings are regularly subjected to damage by impact. This instrument provides proper evaluation of the coating resistance to impact by falling weight method.
The instrument consists of a graduated (in both Cm and Inches) vertical seamless light weight aluminum tube, mounted on a heavy solid base. This tube acts as a guide for a pre-determined weight with indenter & handle, and an adjustable weight holding ring.
The height of fall, means the force of impact can be altered by adjusting the ring guide from variable heights up to 1 meter onto the sample panel firmly placed on the base plate. The force of impact can be increased or decreased by replacing the falling weights.
All clamping arrangements are so designed to hold the guide tube firmly, without scratching the guide tube.
The basic instrument has been designed as per ASTM D 2794 with Ball indentor size of 16mm, falling ball weight 2lbs.
BS 3900-E13 /ISO 6272 with Ball indentor size of 20mm, falling ball weight 1 kg.
Conformity to other standards can also be provided on request.
