Ice test devices

Ice test devices are disclosed. One such ice test device is an ice adhesion test device. The ice adhesion test device comprises an ice adhesion test target in the form of a well in which, in use, a layer of accreted ice is built up. The target comprises a sample plate at the bottom of the well and an ice-engagement element positioned circumferentially around the sample plate and providing a side wall of the well, and wherein the sample plate is rotatable relative to the ice-engagement element. The ice adhesion test device also comprises torque means for applying a rotational torque between thesample plate and the ice-engagement element. The ice adhesion test device also comprises transducer means for, at least at a point at which the layer of accreted ice separates from the sample plate,measuring the rotational torque and/or the stress on the ice. 公开了冰测试装置。种这样的冰测试装置是冰粘附性测试装置。该冰粘附性测试装置包括：冰粘附性测试目标物，该冰粘附性测试目标物为井的形式，在使用时，积冰层被积聚在该井中。该目标物包括位于该井的底部处的样品板以及围绕该样品板周向地定位并提供该井的侧壁的冰接合元件，并且其中，该样品板能够相对于冰接合元件旋转。该冰粘附性测试装置还包括扭矩
