This standard defines a method for evaluating the resistance of organic coatings to rapid deformation by impact testing. Coatings may be impacted during manufacture and use, affecting their integrity and performance. This test method predicts the ability of coatings to resist cracking caused by impact in actual use by simulating rapid deformation. Due to the poor repeatability of the method, testing in a laboratory is generally recommended. The values of the standard are expressed in inches-pounds, and the values in parentheses are reference values in international units.
