Fall Tower Testing: Assess the impact resistance of your materials
What are Fall Tower Tests and why are they essential?
a fall tower test is a critical test method for evaluating the impact resistance and durability of materials and products. These tests simulate the conditions in which products can undergo shocks or falls and are crucial in industries such as automotive, electronics, sports equipment and packaging. By performing fall tower tests, you can ensure that your products can withstand the daily and extreme conditions they can be exposed to. For reliable results, we use standards such as ASTM D6110 and ISO 179.
Why choose Fall Tower Testing at Deon Research Centre?
Do you want to verify the impact resistance of your materials? Our professional fall tower testing services offer:
- Accurate impact assessment: understand how your materials respond to dynamic forces
- Increased product safety: ensure that your products meet the most stringent safety standards.
- Reliable product optimization: Use test results to improve designs and material choices.
How do Fall Tower tests work?
The testing process involves dropping a weight or impactor onto a test product to evaluate impact properties:
- Indentation control: Analyzing the indentation that the falling weight makes on the test material helps to provide insight into resilience and resistance.
- Adjustable test conditions: By adjusting the height and weight of the impactor, specific scenarios and requirements can be simulated.
During the fall tower tests, we focus on important properties such as:
- Impact energy: the energy transfer during the impact and the resistance of the material.
- Fracture pattern: observation of breakage and tear resistance after impact.
- Sustainability: how well a product recovers or stays intact after impact.
Fall Tower Testing applications in different industries:
At Deon Research Centre, we are involved in the application of fall tower tests in various sectors:
- Sports equipment: testing the impact resistance of helmets and protective clothing.
- Automotive: evaluating the safety of automotive components such as bumpers and housings.
