Biokinetics has developed a number of fixtures to facilitate sample preparation while complying with test requirements, whether for body armour, helmets, vehicle armour, shields or structural materials. Attention to ease-of-use, intended function, integration with complimentary tools and quality is at the core of equipment. Details are provided below and in Biokinetics equipment catalogue.
Used as a ballistics witness to penetration for combat helmets whether filled with clay or metal plate insert. It’s integrated with a quick connect adjustable support base to facilitate shot obliquity and has rapid removal.
Obtaining repeatable ballistics performance assessment of helmets needs accurate targeting and obliquity. The fixture improves test accuracy and speed with a flexible clamping system and strategic adjustments points that reduce iterations. Positioning jigs provide accurate positioning of witness plates or clay behind the shell for backface deformation measurements. A clay ball mould improves consistency and accuracy of the witness shape.
The NIJ 0106.01 standard for ballistics helmets requires attenuation of the bullet impact within a global head acceleration tolerance. The rail system supports the rigid headform and allows it to translate as result of the bullet’s momentum transfer.
The durability of ballistics plates from a free-fall edge drop can be assessed with the ballistic plate edge impactor and available twin wire drop tower. Compatible with any style ballistic resistant plate.
The immersion tank fits all sizes of NIJ 0101.06 body armour. It includes a watertight reservoir with drain spout, roller wheels, and a support fixture for test samples.
Various sizes of clamps are available to support rigid armor materials. This universal support fixture provides angular and height adjustments when mounted on our test platform.
This clamp is designed in accordance with STANAG 2920 for ballistics limit testing to hold flexible armor textiles providing a measurable and repeatable tension across the soft armor test sample.
