Tests for resistance to hail or ice block impact

Tests for resistance to hail or ice block impact

BOSMAL is not only tests for the automotive industry, for several years we have also been dynamically developing research in the field of railway components, we have introduced tests according to the PN-EN 50125-3 standard into our accreditation scope.
 
Below we present the equipment for carrying out one of the most interesting tests - resistance to hail or impact with a block of ice. Depending on the configuration and customer requirements, our pneumatic cannon can shoot single pellets (or other small objects) as well as ice blocks (ice balls) weighing up to several kg at speeds of up to approx. 300 km/h.
