Physical – Mechanical Measurement Pendulum Impact tester
AMSE offers a complete range of instruments for polymer testing according to Charpy and Izod methods.
The behavior of materials undergoing the action of an impulse provides very useful data for the determination of mechanical resistance at specified working and stress conditions knowing the specimen geometry allows the calculation of materials resilience.
The instruments are compliant with international reference standards below: ISO 179, ISO 180, ASTM D 256 and other equivalent.
Operation mode
- It is based on measurement of the angle run by the striker after the impact carried out with Charpy and Izod methods.
- The difference between the angle of release (starting position) and the angle return (the arrival) is proportional to the energy absorbed by the specimen during the impact, less friction.
- The absorbed energy is then displayed, by Touch Screen so the operator note it down.
