TILE IMPACT RESISTANCE TEST (Ball-Drop) (R015)

Category: Aggregate

Product Code: R015

Category: AGGREGATE

Sub-Category: PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

  • The Tile Impact Resistance (Ball-Drop Test) apparatus is used to evaluate the impact resistance of ceramic tiles and similar materials by measuring their ability to withstand the impact of a falling steel ball under controlled conditions.
  • This test method is essential for assessing the durability and performance of tiles in areas subject to mechanical impacts, ensuring compliance with international quality standards.
  • The apparatus consists of two vertical guide rails, each 2 meters in height, providing a stable and accurate drop path for the steel ball, ensuring consistent impact conditions across tests.
  • A robust tray securely holds the tile specimen during testing, preventing movement and containing any fragments resulting from impact.
  • An adjustable platform with a centered 65 mm diameter hole allows precise alignment of the steel ball over the test specimen, facilitating accurate and repeatable drop tests.
  • The manual release mechanism ensures controlled and consistent release of the steel ball from the specified height, eliminating variability in drop conditions.
  • The apparatus is supplied with a solid steel ball of approximately 60 mm in diameter, simulating real-world impact scenarios on tile surfaces.
