Abstract

An evaluation of six different coatings was completed in a set of inter-laboratory tests, involving three rain erosion test facilities. Results from two whirling arm type test facilities and one water-jet test facility were compared in the test campaign. The surface topography of the test coupons was measured using a confocal laser scanning microscope. Preliminary correlations were concluded between the three test facilities. The incubation period was the main measure of the resistance of the coatings to rain erosion.
