About This Product
The retention system of a helmet is the part that keeps it on the head during an impact. In the dynamic test, a helmet on a head-form is loaded by a mass falling from a set height, and the displacement of the retention system is read on a scale. The residual displacement and any damage are then noted, and the inclination of the helmet on the head-form is checked after the test. Students use the apparatus to see how a drop mass, a guide rod and a scale are used to test a safety product. The Retention Tester can be supplied for export orders from Tunisia, Botswana, Jordan, Tajikistan and Serbia.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Retention Tester determine?
It determines the dynamic displacement, residual displacement and any damage of the retention system of a helmet. The inclination of the helmet on the head-form is checked after the test.
Q2. How is the mass raised and released?
The mass is lifted with a handle and chain and held by a catch at the specified height. Releasing the catch drops the mass along a guide rod onto the anvil of the loading device.
