Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What surfaces can I test with this impact tester?
Flat or curved vitrified enamel surfaces and HPL laminates for interior furnishings.

What standards does this tester comply with?
DIN 51155, ISO 4532, and EN ISO 438-2.

How is the impact force adjusted?
The device allows adjusting force from 0 to 90 Newtons to simulate different impact conditions.

Is the impact ball size standard?
Yes, the impact ball is 5 mm in diameter for consistent and accurate results.

Can this tester be used for quality control in production?
Absolutely. Its portability, repeatability, and standards compliance make it ideal for lab and industrial quality checks.

How does it differ from other NEURTEK testing devices?
Unlike scratch or abrasion testers like the TABER 551, the Hand-Held Enamel Impact Tester evaluates impact resistance, complementing other tests for a complete coating assessment.

How does the Hand-Held Enamel Impact Tester differ from the NK Impact Tester by NEURTEK?

While the Hand-Held Enamel Impact Tester focuses on impact resistance of enamel and HPL surfaces with a portable, single-force setup, the NK Impact Tester allows more advanced evaluation of impact resistance, adhesion, and flexibility of coatings, paints, and enamels according to ASTM and ISO standards. The NK Impact Tester is ideal for laboratory use, R&D, and industrial quality control.
