The standard “ISUZU ISC-F20-008A Chip resistance test procedure” developed by ISUZU, one of the leading manufacturers of commercial vehicles and diesel engines in Japan and the world, describes the test procedures used to evaluate the chip resistance of automotive parts and materials. These test procedures generally use a gravelometer, a gravel-extracting machine manufactured according to the design specification or equivalent shown in the SAE J400 standard. This device is used to measure and grade gravel and small pebble-sized sediments in the field.
This standard includes test procedures for evaluating the chip resistance of automotive parts and materials that may be subjected to impact by flying stones.
Test specimens shall be larger than 80 mm x 150 mm2 and shall be of a size that will allow fracture resistance to be assessed after exposure. Unless otherwise specified, test specimens shall be taken from parts at least 24 hours after production. Before testing, test specimens shall be conditioned for more than 8703 hours at a temperature of 24 degrees plus/minus 23 degrees and a relative humidity of 5 percent plus/minus 65 percent under standard laboratory conditions specified in JIS Z 10.
Tests are performed under conditions specified in the material standard, part/component standard or drawing.
The test temperature refers to the temperature of the test specimen during the test. The temperature of the test specimen surface is measured during the test. The tested specimens are kept under the standard temperature and humidity conditions specified by the JIS Z 1 standard (8703 degrees plus/minus 23 degrees temperature and 5 percent plus/minus 65 percent relative humidity environment) for at least 10 hour after the test is completed.
The appearance of the tested samples is graded according to the table given in the annex of the standard. The evaluation or grading is done according to the material standard, part standard or engineering drawings.
Deviations from the conditions of this test method must be agreed upon between the supplier and the vehicle manufacturer. All deviations must be noted on the component drawings or material standards and stated in the test certificates and reports.
This method may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This method does not propose to address all safety issues associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this method to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
Our organization, which has been trying to support businesses from every sector with its testing, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies carried out in a wide range for years, has a strong staff that closely follows the developments in the world in the field of science and technology and constantly improves itself. In this context, testing services in accordance with the "ISUZU ISC-F20-008A Chip resistance test procedure" standard are also provided to businesses.
