Product Testing

Dynamic Impact Test

Compliance test applied to ensure impact resistance to the patented fabrication system of components. The test comprises a heavy bag (92.5 Ibs.) swung to impact the mesh and repeated five times, in varying directions. Crime Shield™ easily passes and exceeds AS 5041-2003.

Knife Shear Test

Compliance test for protective security screens: A knife is used to simulate an attack on the mesh,repeated three times, in a constant directional force [vertical force 33 lbs. (147 N); horizontal force 77 Ibs. (342 N); at a velocity of .236" second]. Crime Shield™ successfully passes and exceeds AS 5041-2003.

Forced Entry Test

Strength test designed to simulate attempted forced entry by burglars and intruders using an implement to pry open doors and windows or break locks and hinges by applying leverage forces. Crime Shield™ easily passes and exceeds AS 5041-2003.

Salt Spray Test

Corrosion resistance test for all metal components. An accelerated climate machine (1,000 hrs. is the equivalency to 10 years) produces a corrosive attack on coated samples, measuring suitability and resistance of the protective finish to corrosive agents such as weather.
