Multi Grit Tester

  • introduction
Multi Grit Tester is a stone-hammer-blow / Stone Chip resistance tester that was originally developed in collaboration with the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), but which also meets the requirements of national and international standards. TheMulti Grit Tester is for evaluating the performance of single- and multi-layer paints and similar coatings when subject to the stresses caused by low-mass, high-speed impacting objects (such as those encountered on road and rail vehicles, and traffic equipment). The new Gravelometer is a stone-hammer-blow testing instrument, which (in contrast to the VDA version) is equipped with an adjustable impact angle. Stone Chip resistance test finds its wide application in automotive industry for determination of the resistance of the coatings when subject to chipping damaged by stones.

Assessment Method:
1) Stick the adhesive tape to the surface of the sample coating, apply uniform force for tight attachment to the surface of the sample and avoid creating air bubbles. Then pull up the tape.
2) The tape is attached to the surface of the sample coating, and it is applied to the surface of the sample with uniform force to avoid the bubbling. Then pull up the tape from the opposite direction of 1).
3) Repeat the steps of 1) and 2) until the damaged coating completely comes off.
4) At this pint, you can accurately count the damage points for assessment.
5) Cover the transparent grille on the sample, count the number of coating damage points (except the impact marks) in 101.6mm x 101.6 mm area and confirm the size of the damage pints.
