Ballistic Tests Conducted on Avalon Frames
03 JAN 2023
In a groundbreaking development in the realm of security infrastructure, Avalon International's Aluminum frames and doors have successfully passed rigorous ballistic testing under the renowned UL752 standards. Independently conducted by Close Focus Research, these tests affirm Avalon's commitment to delivering top-notch protection against ballistic threats.
The UL752 standards serve as a benchmark for assessing the resistance capabilities of various building components, including windows, walls, and barriers crafted from bullet-resistant materials. Avalon's aluminum frames, designed to withstand high-impact forces, have met the stringent criteria set forth by UL752, particularly in Level III Bullet-Resistant tests.
Understanding UL 752 Standards
UL 752 standards are pivotal in evaluating the effectiveness of structures against ballistic threats. They provide a comprehensive framework for testing and classifying the bullet resistance of materials used in construction. By adhering to these standards, manufacturers like Avalon ensure that their products offer reliable protection in scenarios where security is paramount.
The Testing Process
During the testing phase, Close Focus Research utilized Level III testing protocols, which involved subjecting Avalon's aluminum frames and doors to the force of a .44 magnum firearm. A total of seven shots were discharged at the material, each traveling at a velocity of 1,350 feet per second. This rigorous examination demonstrated the resilience and durability of Avalon's products under real-world ballistic conditions.
Implications and Significance
The successful certification of Avalon International's Aluminum frames and doors to UL Level III Bullet-Resistant standards marks a significant milestone in the realm of security infrastructure. Businesses, government agencies, and institutions seeking robust protection against ballistic threats can now confidently rely on Avalon's offerings to safeguard their premises and personnel.
