Air Jet Erosion Tester Overview
- 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
