Designation:

Stone chip tester -VAS 5102A-

Product description

The stone chip tester -VAS 5102A- has been developed by VW AG and allows the user to recognise whether paint damage is the result of a fault in material or application or whether it has been caused by excessive mechanical stress, for example stone chipping or scratching. The test is based on the simulation of average impact on vehicle paintwork in road traffic of low-mass bodies, e.g. sand or gravel, travelling at a high velocity.

Note

The testing procedure is described in detail in the catalogue "Assessment of Vehicle Paintwork".

The unit is subject to an annual inspection by the manufacturer. A charge will be levied for this service.
