Product Description:

This simple to use gauge is ideal for evaluating the resistance of a coating to impact (elongation, cracking or peeling).

There are two test methods: either a weight with a hemispherical punch attached falls on a coated metal sheet or a weight falls on to a hemispherical punch which is resting on the coated metal sheet.
The Elcometer 1615 Impact Tester comes as one universal assembly with the option of six different kits providing the functionality for various testing methods.
The test specimen is fixed into position by the quick release clamp. The weight is lifted to the predetermined height and can be set by the adjustable collar device. The weight is then released and the resulting deformation is observed.
The base unit is common to all tests. Simply select the appropriate kit to meet your requirements.
