Working Principle
The Drop Ball Test is a simple but highly reliable method:
- A steel ball or specified impact test ball is positioned at a defined height.
- The ball is dropped freely to strike the sample.
- The material’s impact resistance is determined by observing cracks, breaks, or deformations.
- By adjusting the drop height and drop weight, users can test different levels of toughness.

This method complies with ASTM D2794 and ASTM D3420, ensuring globally recognized test results.
