A target cylinder, a method for testing a superhard component thereon, and a method for selecting an untested component for use in field applications. The target cylinder includes a first end, a second end, and a side wall extending from the first end to the second end. At least one of the second end and the sidewall is an exposed portion that makes contact with the superhard component to determine at least one property of the superhard component. The target cylinder is formed from a first material evenly distributed throughout a second material. Upon testing superhard components at one or more impact frequencies, untested superhard components are selected based upon field anticipated impact frequencies. |
