Wiper Blade Testing

BAOYI is experienced in the design and analysis of wiper blade structures for optimum distribution of wiping pressure on the windshield surface. BAOYI uses state-of-the-art experimental and computational mechanics tools to generate the best designs for our distroibutors and OEM customers. Computerized product design and development are used to aid in decision making prior to manufacturing.

COEFFICIENT OF FRICTION

The frictional coefficients obtained are used to predict wear, chatter, squeal and energy consumption, as well as to compare various surface treatments. 

DURABILITY TESTING

Durability testing to 1,500,000 cycles helps define the life prediction of your wiper blade, your wiper blade's wipe quality and your super structure. 

INITIAL WIPE GRADE

To test the initial wipe grade, wiper blades are cycled on a specially constructed wiper test buck. A new glass windshield is used and is painted black on the inside to help enhance the viewing of any surface defects caused by a poor performing wiper blade. The wiper blades are graded on a scale of 1-10:

Wiping Performance Grade

Grade

Cleanliness situation in the wiping area

9

No water marks, no noise, no shake

8

1 or 2 small stripes (less than 3mm), do not stay more than three seconds, no noise, no shaking.

7

3 or more small stripes (less than 3mm), do not stay more than 3 seconds, wiping will evaporate within 1 second, no shaking.

6

Spot to stay within 1-3 seconds, but there is a small fringe (less than 3mm) to stay more than 3 seconds.

5

6mm width or less slight jitter, or 3-6mm stripes, spots to stay at least 3 seconds.

4

25mm wide or less rod-like stripes, or 25mm small stripes, spots to stay more than 3 seconds or more.

3

Above 25mm rod-like stripes, or more than 25mm small stripes, spots to stay more than 3 seconds or more

2

Some area no wiping, big spot drops and stripes.

1

Most parts of area no wiping.

Wiping Performance Requirement

No.

OZONE TESTING

Ozone testing is done not only to prove a product passes ozone standards but to provide a time line of rubber deterioration and determine if premature rubber cracking will occur. 

PERMANENT SET TESTING

Permanent set is the first test a manufactured wiper blade must pass and is the most critical. When sitting on a windshield for an extended period of time, wiper blades can form a permanent set. Wiper blades must have a low permanent set to guarantee proper blade flipping over the life of the blade.

SALT SPRAY TESTING

Salt spray testing is an advanced corrosion test that evaluates the durability of coatings on super structures, fastener/clip integrity, paint and rubber integrity. 

SUPER STRUCTURE TESTING

Complete wiper blade super structures can be tested at temperatures from -30°F to 120°F. BAOYI's super structure testing can include simulated snow and ice slap testing, specular gloss measuring on surfaces and continuous pressure pattern testing.
