ASTM D3170 Standard Test Method for Chipping Resistance of Coatings

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM D3170 standard. This test method involves determining the resistance of coatings to chipping damage by stones or other flying objects.

When formulating a coating or coating system to meet service requirements, resistance to chipping damage caused by flying objects such as gravel is one of the important characteristics as other properties can vary considerably as other properties are adjusted. The test may be performed at low temperature, which may be more directly related to service conditions, as chipping resistance decreases at low temperatures, partly as a result of reduced flexibility.

This test method is designed to produce a controlled amount of influence by the medium on the coated panel to increase reproducibility.

Values ​​stated in SI units or inch-pound units will be considered standard separately. The values ​​specified in each system may not be exactly equivalent; therefore, each system should be used independently of the other. Combining values ​​from the two systems may result in non-compliance with the standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
