What is a gravel impact testing machine?

The gravel impact tester is a testing equipment used to simulate the impact of gravel, sand or other particles on the material surface. It is widely used in the automotive, aerospace, construction and other industries to evaluate the impact resistance, wear resistance and durability of the material surface. The following is a detailed introduction to the gravel impact testing machine.

1. Working principle of gravel impact testing machine

What is a gravel impact testing machine?

The gravel impact testing machine simulates the impact of materials in the actual environment by spraying gravel or other particles at high speed. During the test, the sample is fixed in the testing machine, and the particles impact the sample surface at a certain speed and angle, and then its performance is evaluated by observing or measuring the degree of damage on the sample surface.

parametersDescription
Impact speedUsually 20-150 km/h, adjustable
particle sizeCommonly used gravel or sand of 1-10 mm
Test timeSet according to standards or needs, usually 5-30 minutes
Sample sizeDepending on the testing machine model, typically supports 100x100 mm to 500x500 mm

2. Application fields of gravel impact testing machine

Gravel impact testing machines are mainly used in the following fields:

IndustryApplication
automobile manufacturingTest the impact resistance of car body paint, windshield, and chassis coatings
AerospaceEvaluate the ability of aircraft skin materials to resist stone impact during high-speed flight
building materialsTesting the durability of exterior wall coatings and glass curtain walls
electronic productsTest the wear resistance of mobile phone screens and camera lenses

3. Classification of gravel impact testing machines

According to the testing methods and functions, gravel impact testing machines can be divided into the following categories:

TypeFeatures
pneumaticUse compressed air to accelerate particles, suitable for small sample testing
RotaryParticles are ejected through a rotating wheel, suitable for testing large-size samples
MultifunctionalCombined with multiple test modes, suitable for complex requirements

4. Test standards for gravel impact testing machine

The testing of gravel impact testing machine usually follows the following international or industry standards:

Standard numberStandard name
ISO 20567-1Testing of coating material’s gravel impact resistance
SAE J400Test method for gravel impact resistance of automotive coatings
ASTM D3170Impact resistance testing standards for building materials

5. Suggestions for purchasing a gravel impact testing machine

When purchasing a gravel impact testing machine, you need to consider the following factors:

  • Testing requirements:Clarify the test materials and standards and choose the appropriate model.
  • Equipment accuracy:Ensure that the impact speed and particle size can be accurately controlled.
  • After-sales service:Choose a provider that provides technical support and repair services.
