ISO 20567-3 Paints and Varnishes - Single Impact Test with Free-Flying Impact Body

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 20567-3 testing. ISO 20567-3 is a standard that specifies a method for determining the resistance of a coating to impact by a single stone using a free-flying impact body. This test method is similar to the single impact test described in ISO 20567-2, but uses a different impact body and a different test apparatus.

In ISO 20567-3 the impact body is allowed to move freely in the air before striking the surface of the clad panel. This simulates the impact of a stone or other hard object that is not guided in its orbit before hitting the paved surface. The test apparatus consists of a gun or launcher used to launch the impact body against the coated panel at a certain angle and velocity.

After the impact, the panel is inspected for any damage to the cladding and the extent and location of any damage is recorded. The results of the test are reported as the size of the damaged area, measured in millimeters.

ISO 20567-3 is an important standard for the paint and coatings industry because it provides a reliable and repeatable method for assessing the resistance of coatings to stone chipping caused by impact from free-flying objects. This information can be used to develop and improve coatings for use in vehicles, aircraft and other equipment that may be subject to impacts from stones and other hard objects that are not guided in their orbit.
