ISO 16936-21 Transparent Armor Environmental and Ballistic Testing
The ISO 16936 series is an internationally recognized standard for the testing of transparent armor materials, with Part 21 specifically addressing environmental and ballistic performance. This comprehensive service ensures that transparent armor products meet stringent requirements ensuring safety in various military applications.
Our laboratory adheres to this standard to provide our clients with reliable testing services. The process involves a series of rigorous tests designed to simulate the harsh conditions these materials might encounter under real-world scenarios. This includes ballistic impact and environmental stress exposure, which are critical for ensuring the durability and safety of transparent armor.
The transparent armor materials tested under this standard are used in various military applications such as armored vehicles, aircraft windows, and personal body protection. The test parameters include bullet speeds, angles, and types; temperature variations, humidity levels; and exposure to other environmental factors like sand, dust, and water. These tests help ensure that the materials can withstand both ballistic threats and environmental challenges effectively.
Our laboratory utilizes state-of-the-art equipment and methodologies to conduct these tests accurately and consistently. The instrumentation includes high-speed cameras for capturing impact events, bullet trajectory analyzers, temperature and humidity chambers, and other specialized tools required for this type of testing. Each test is meticulously recorded and analyzed to provide clients with detailed reports that highlight the performance of their materials under various conditions.
Understanding the specific needs of our clients is crucial in tailoring our services effectively. We work closely with quality managers, compliance officers, R&D engineers, and procurement teams to ensure that the testing aligns with industry standards and meets project-specific requirements. This collaboration ensures that the test results are not only accurate but also actionable for continuous improvement.
