Falling Weight Impact Tester

HDT/VICAT Temperature

Falling Weight Impact Tester

Product Description
Variable Drop Height up to 2 meters + Variable Loads Between 1.25kg & 10kg + Drop Weight Automatically Raised & Solenoid Released + Various Sample Holding Fixtures Available. for example :-

Pipes 20 to 400mm diameter----

Izod and Charpy----

Round Plaques

Test Description
Impact Resistance by Falling Weight.
The Impact Energy is calculated from the Drop Height and Drop Weight, as follows :
Impact Energy=Drop Weight(kg) * Drop Height (m) * g
g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s/s

Plastics Impact Testing

Product Description
Plastics Impact Testing + Software + Self Calibration + Variable Velocity Testing using the Pendulum Hammer Method for :

Charpy + Izod + Tension + Puncture

Full range of Pendulum Hammers available to International Standards

Test Description
The Pendulum release height and weight determines the Impact Energy. The final swing height position of the Pendulum after breaking a Test Sample is subtracted from the release height and this equates to the energy loss to break the Test Sample. Adjustments are made for the parasitic lossess, such as friction and windage, which are found during the Calibration carried out before each test.

Part Numbers
RR/IMT - Advanced Universal Impact Tester.
IMT A075 - Izod Vice,
ITM A082 - Charpy Rest,
ITN A089 - Tension Impact Fixture,
IMT A100 - Puncture Test Stand,
-- Pendulum Hammers available on request.

Complies with Standard(s)
ISO 8256, ISO 256, ISO 180, ISO 179, DIN 73378, DIN 53435, DIN 51222, BS 2782 : Part 3 : Method 359, BS 2782 : Part 3 : Method 350, ASTM D6110, ASTM D5942, ASTM D5941, ASTM D256
