About This Product
Penetration testing checks that a sharp object cannot reach the head through a helmet. The helmet sits on a head-form, and the holder can be turned so that any point on the helmet comes under the punch with the surface nearly horizontal. A weight dropped on the punch drives it into the helmet, and the clay shows how near the tip came to the head-form. The result tells the tester whether the helmet passes. Alongside supply within India, the Penetration Tester is offered for export to São Tomé and Príncipe, Uzbekistan, Uganda, Italy, Nicaragua and Seychelles.
