Automotive Glass Impact Tester

1. Function and Application

The Automotive Glass Impact Tester is designed to evaluate the impact resistance of automotive glass, including rigid and laminated safety glass.

Testing is performed by dropping a 227-gram steel ball from a height of 2 meters onto a 300 mm square test sample, simulating real-world impact conditions and ensuring compliance with automotive safety standards.

This tester is ideal for automotive manufacturers, safety testing laboratories, and quality control facilities focused on glass durability and occupant safety.

2. Applicable Test Standards
