Edge Chipping Tester
The Payne Edge Chipping Tester has been developed as a low cost “in-house” test instrument to give a reproducible indication of edge chipping resistance.
The hammer head is fitted to the end of a pendulum arm, which is manually withdrawn to a pre-designated point against the scale, then released. Initially at the low end of the scale, then increasing in 10 degree increments to see at which point visible damage occurs. Once this measurement is recorded, it can then be measured against samples from different batches, ensuring all produces are to the same standard. Suitable for plates up to 30cm diameter and mugs.
