Protective Systems Test: Ballistic and Puncture Resistant Materials

The ability of Military Resistant Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to withstand a ballistic impact is critical. Any product covered by MIL-H, MIL-STD, NIJ, and other legal standards must be properly tested. As one of the most reliable testing laboratories in the country, EUROLAB performs industry-leading destructive material tests and works with expert engineers who can develop a comprehensive testing routine for your product.

Ballistic Material Tests

EUROLAB has the best equipped ballistic material testing laboratory in the country. Our independently verified facilities can provide accurate analysis of the effectiveness of body armor, helmet and firearm locking devices.

Measurement and Analysis Capabilities

EUROLAB ballistic ranges can test full scale products. The material testing ranges are equipped with some of the most advanced monitoring tools available, including:

  • High-speed video - a Phantom 250.000 capable of recording at 7.2 frames per second, and the Phantom V500.000 recording at up to 312 fps
  • FARO laser scanners - FARO Arm and Geomagic Qualify software, which can make precise measurements at small intervals such as 0.0006 ”, is a vital ally for advanced ballistic material tests.
  • Oehler chronographs - Each series uses redundant Oehler Model 55 chronographs and Oehler Model 34 ballistic computers to provide accurate speed measurements.
  • Doppler radar

An investment in advanced measurement technology provides the basic information that leads the ballistic material tests, providing the information you need to develop stronger and more effective products.

EUROLAB can assist expert tests on soft body armor, armor plates, combat helmets and vehicle armor. EUROLAB tries to help developers and manufacturers of survival systems to bring the best possible products to the defense market.

In addition to armor tests, we are fully equipped to provide climate and dynamic tests, environmental simulation (including sand, dust and salt fog test), functional trials and more. If more than one test is required, we determine the fastest and most cost-effective series possible. You can count on our team for everything from one-off armor tests to complete project management solutions.
