Equotip uses a proven, dynamic testing principle. An impact body with a hard metal
test tip is propelled by spring force against the surface of the test piece. Surface
deformation takes place when the impact body hits the test surface, which will
result in loss of kinetic energy. This energy loss is detected by a comparison of
velocities vi and vr when the impact body is at a precise distance from the surface
for both the impact and rebound phase of the test, respectively.
The following standards are applied to this product: ASTM A956 (2006), ASME CRTD-
