The izod impact test consists of a pendulum with a determined weight at the end of its arm swinging down and striking the specimen while it is held securely in a vertical position 11. This multi purpose ability is one reason why many prefer the izod impact testing machine.
Charpy test notches can also be made according to astm d 6110 and iso 179. The v notch maker and impact test machine are displayed in fig. Specimen types include notch configurations such as v notch u notch key hole notch as well as un notched and. Impact hammer energies are available from 0 5 j up to 25 j.
The energy absorbed by the sample is calculated from the height the arm swings to after hitting the sample. Charpy impact test are performed on instrumented machines capable of measuring less than 1foot pound. Along with pipe testing component testing and puncture impact testing the ray ran universal pendulum impact tester should more than meet all of your testing requirements. The impact strength is determined by the loss of energy of the pendulum as determined.
