Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75  % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 20567‑3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 35, Paints and varnishes, Subcommittee SC 9,
General test methods for paints and varnishes.
ISO 20567 consists of the following parts, under the general title Paints and varnishes — Determination
of stone-chip resistance of coatings:

Introduction
In the automotive industry, multi-layer paint coatings are applied to car bodies for protection. Grit, road-
metal and other materials can damage these coatings in such a way that individual layers come off or the
whole coating delaminates from the substrate.
Stone chipping can be simulated by means of single- and/or multi-impact tests. Part 1 of this International
Standard describes a multi-impact test, Parts 2 and 3 describe a single-impact test.

Paints and varnishes — Determination of stone-chip

resistance of coatings —
Part 3:
Single-impact test with a free-flying impact body

1 Scope
This part of ISO 20567 specifies a method for the evaluation of the resistance of automobile finishes
and other coatings to the impact of a single, free-flying body projected onto the surface under test to
simulate the impact of stones.

3 Principle
The stone-chip resistance of the coating under test is determined by projecting a single, free-flying body
onto it in a test in which those parameters with a significant effect on the damage, i.e. the impact angle,
speed, mass and geometry of the impact body, are defined. The temperature can be altered as required.
The test result is expressed in terms of the size of the area that has been damaged, after removal of
pieces of the coating which have delaminated from the substrate as a result of the impact, plus, in the
case of multi-layer paint systems, details of the damage to each coating layer.

4 Apparatus and materials

4.1 Single-impact tester, as shown in Figure 1.

An impact body is accelerated by compressed air in a defined manner. The speed is determined by measuring
the travel time between two light beams and then displayed. The test panel is mounted on a movable holder
whose angle can be adjusted and whose temperature can be set in the range from −20 °C to +30 °C.

5 Calibration
A suitable calibration method for the apparatus is specified in Annex A.

6 Sampling
Take a representative sample of the coating material to be tested, as described in ISO 15528.
Examine and prepare each sample for testing, as described in ISO 1513.

7 Test panels

7.1 Substrate
Use 200 mm × 100 mm steel test panels that are between 0,7 mm and 1,0 mm thick.

7.2 Preparation and coating

Prepare each test panel in accordance with ISO  1514 before coating and drying or stoving. Use the
application method and drying or stoving conditions specified by the paint manufacturer.

7.3 Thickness of the coating

iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
Determine the thickness, in micrometres, of the dry coating by one of the procedures specified in ISO 2808.

https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/05e06837-93d7-4c43-b868-
8.1 Conditioning of the test panels
f57bed30cc61/iso-20567-3-2012
Condition the test panels, for at least 16 h at (23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % relative humidity (see ISO 3270)
before carrying out the test.

8.2 Test conditions

The impact body shall be shot at the test panel at a speed of (250 ± 10) km/h [(69,4 ± 2,8) m/s] and at an
angle of (2,0 ± 0,5)° to the normal.
The preferred test temperatures are:
a) (23 ± 2) °C;
b) (0 ± 2) °C;
c) (–20 ± 2) °C.

8.3 Number of test runs

Carry out at least five test runs on each of two test panels.

8.4 Preparation for the test

Set the test-panel holder to the required temperature. Set the pressure by means of the pressure
regulator so that the speed of the impact body is within the range specified in 8.2, i.e. set it to the value
determined during calibration of the apparatus (see Clause A.3).
