BALASTIC TEST

A ballistic test is performed to evaluate a materials or structure’s resistance to projectile impact. It determines how well materials (such as Armor steel, composites, or bullet-resistant glass) can withstand penetration, absorb energy, or stop bullets/shrapnel. This test is essential for defence, security, and safety applications

A ballistic test is a controlled experimental process used to evaluate how a material or structure behaves when impacted by a high-speed projectile, such as a bullet or fragment. During the test, a projectile of a specified caliber, velocity, and distance is fired at the test specimen. The material’s ability to prevent penetration, limit damage, and absorb impact energy is then measured.

Ballistic testing helps determine the protection level, structural integrity, and safety performance of materials. The results are assessed based on recognized standards, and the material is rated as pass or fail depending on whether it meets the required resistance criteria.

This test is essential for applications where impact resistance and human safety are critical, especially in military, defense, security, and armored systems.
