High-Low Temperature Gravel Impact Tester，Stone Chip Resistance Gravelometer
High-Low Temperature Multifunctional Aggregate Impact Tester is a professional testing instrument designed to accurately reproduce damage caused by flying gravel under controlled high- and low-temperature environments. This tester is mainly used to evaluate the stone-chip impact resistance of coatings, coating systems, plastics, glass, and other exterior materials. By precisely controlling impact angle, pressure, temperature, and test media, it allows comprehensive assessment of coating adhesion, interlayer bonding performance, brittleness, spall resistance, and impact durability under simulated real-world conditions.
Application
This tester is widely applied in durability and damage resistance evaluation for materials exposed to gravel impact during actual service conditions, especially in the automotive and coating industries. Typical applications include:
External coating cohesion failure testing
Interlayer adhesion failure testing of multilayer coating systems
Brittleness thickness evaluation of hard glass materials
Optimization of coating thickness for anti-spall performance
Impact, spall resistance, and wear resistance testing of plastics and glass
Stone-chip resistance testing for automotive exterior and interior components
Tested products may include automotive body coatings, plastic trim parts, glass panels, protective coatings, and other exterior decorative or functional materials.

Test Procedures
Power on the equipment and allow it to preheat to the preset temperature (approximately 15–30 minutes).
Place the prepared sample into the test chamber and securely close the chamber door.
Start the test program; the system automatically controls temperature, pressure release, and aggregate impact.
Monitor temperature and pressure parameters via the control panel to ensure stable operation throughout the test.
Maintenance Information
After testing, remove the sample once the equipment stops automatically.
Record test parameters such as impact cycles, temperature, and pressure for result evaluation.
Clean the test chamber and spray gun tube to remove residual aggregate.
Regularly inspect key components to ensure stable performance for subsequent tests.
