Optical Imaging Evaluation of Impact Damage Resistance Testing on Exterior Finishes

STANDARD published on 1.3.2023
Designation standards: SAE J2661
Publication date standards: 1.3.2023
SKU: NS-1103684
Country: American technical standard
Category: Technical standards SAE
This SAE Recommended Practice covers a procedure for evaluating plastic and multiple-layer coatings exposed to gravelometer testing (as defined in SAE J400) with an optical imaging and analysis system. The intent of the procedure is to detect, count and characterize instances of damage in the coated surface that fracture the top coat layer or penetrate through multiple layers of the coating system. It may be possible to extend this methodology of coating damage evaluation to specimens that have undergone test procedures or exposures that produce similar, discrete damage sites in the coating system. If so applied, evaluation results must be interpreted with respect to the limitations and intent implied by the original evaluation procedure and its associated rating system, if applicable.
