Safety Helmets Impact and Penetration Resistance Tester
The Safety Helmets Impact and Penetration Resistance Tester is a dual-function testing system designed to evaluate helmet safety under both impact and penetration conditions. It ensures compliance with national and international standards, supporting quality control, certification testing, and research applications.
Application
(1) Impact resistance testing for industrial helmets (e.g., construction safety helmets, GB/T 2812 certified)
(2) Impact testing for cycling helmets (road, mountain, BMX)
(3) Impact testing for motorcycle helmets (full-face, modular, open-face)
(4) Penetration resistance testing for climbing helmets and rope-access helmets
(5) Custom helmet testing for sports or military applications
(6) R&D and batch quality control for OEM helmet lines (including EN 960 S/M/L headforms)
(7) Certification testing for GB/T 2811-2019, ISO 6220-2, and CE/EN compliant helmets
Standards
(1) GB/T 2811-2019 – Helmet safety and impact resistance
(2) GB/T 2812-2006 – Testing methods for impact absorption and penetration resistance
(3) ISO 6220-2 – Road vehicles restraint systems energy absorption test methods
(4) EN 960 – Headforms for protective helmet testing
(5) CE Certification (Conformité Européenne)
Features
(1) Dual-Function Versatility: Rapid fixture exchange allows switching between impact and penetration tests in under 10 minutes
(2) Ultra-Precision Impact Analysis: 5 kg hemispherical hammer with 1,000 mm drop height and 20,000 N force sensor at 0.1 N resolution
(3) Penetration Resistance Validation: 3 kg conical tip hammer (60° ±0.5°, 40 mm min., 45–50 HRC) simulating sharp object impacts
(4) Smart Data Acquisition: Real-time force curves with pass/fail alerts and 1 ms resolution
(5) Industrial Durability: 4 m steel frame with anti-vibration design, IP65-rated control panel
(6) Safety Systems: Light curtain, energy-absorbing base, and emergency stop
(7) Universal Compatibility: EN 960 headforms (S/M/L) and custom 3D-printed headforms for specialized helmets

(5) Software License: HelmetImpact Pro, cloud-connected with API integration for QMS systems
(6) Installation & Training: On-site setup by certified engineers, 16-hour virtual operator training
Test Procedures
(1) Install the helmet on the selected headform.
(2) Select impact or penetration test mode and attach the corresponding hammer.
(3) Set drop height, test parameters, and safety interlocks via the HMI.
(4) Conduct the test; monitor real-time force/displacement curves.
(5) Record peak forces and penetration measurements; evaluate against standard requirements.
(6) Generate automated pass/fail reports and export data for QC or certification.
Maintenance Information
(1) Inspect hammers, headforms, and force sensors regularly for wear or damage.
(2) Clean frame, rails, and fixtures with non-corrosive solution.
(3) Verify calibration of force sensors and drop heights periodically.
(4) Lubricate linear bearings and moving components as per schedule.
(5) Store in a clean, dry environment to maintain precision and service life.
