Air Jet Erosion Tester Overview

Main Features:

  • Conforms to ASTM G76, ASTM G211-14
  • Automatic in-line sample and particle velocity measurement
  • Open platform allows mounting real samples and test coupons
  • Fully automatic – run and test data with a click of a button

The Rtec Instruments Air Jet Erosion Tester (AJ-1000) is a state-of-the-art solution for accurate air jet erosion testing of materials and coatings. Designed to perform repeated impact tests, the AJ-1000 directs a high-velocity jet of gas carrying abrasive particles onto the sample surface to precisely measure erosion rates. This advanced tester offers closed-loop temperature control up to 1000°C, enabling erosion studies under extreme environmental conditions. With the ability to vary abrasive particle type, shape, size, temperature, and impact velocity, the AJ-1000 provides a reliable way to rank and compare the erosion resistance of diverse materials and protective coatings.

    AJ-1000 Features

    \
    Automated Positioning Stage

    An automatic stage moves the sample for ease of use. Meanwhile, the velocity measurement system provides precise measurements.

    \
    Uniform Temperature

    The AJ-1000 can go up to 1000 °C temperature (multiple ranges available). As a result, study the effect of temperature with in-line temperature monitoring and PID closed loop control.

    \
    Closed loop High Speed Double Disc Velocity Measurement

    The time-of-flight of the particles is determined over a controlled path length between two rotating disks.  Servo controlled rpm, high speed double disc velocity for precise process control in real time.

    \
    Mixing and Impingement Angle

    Software parameters control the mixing of hot air and erodent particles. In addition, the angles of impingement change to various positions – from 0 to  90 degrees.

    \
    Erodent Particle Feed System

    Stainless steel hoppers and vibrator with programmed motorized screw conveyor. 

    Erodent feed rate– 1 -10 gm/min (higher range available)
    Particle hopper capacity– up to 3 liter (multiple ranges)
    Particle speed– 30-200 m/sec (multiple ranges available)

    A Look Inside the AJ-1000

    Each AJ-1000 includes an air pressure controller and a pressure gauge. Standard or user selected abrasive media are capable of evaluation.
