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.
