Impact Testing Machines

Product Overview

Model: IT-30, IT-30 (D)

The pendulum Impact Tester, Model IT-30 is designed for conducting Izod and Charpy tests. The test methods confirm to BS : 131 : Part 4-1972 (Amended 15 Aug. 1993), BSEN : 10045-2 : 1993 and ASTM : E-23-94a.

The pendulum is mounted on antifriction bearings. It has two starting positions, the upper one for Charpy and the lower one for Izod testing.

Izod & Charpy Designed for both impact test methods.

Antifriction Bearings Smooth pendulum movement.

Digital Option Digital readout available in electronic machines.

ASTM Support ASTM Charpy model available.

General Description

Reliable Pendulum Impact Testing

Energy Measurement

Energy absorbed is measured from the difference between the height of drop before and after rupture.

Two Starting Positions

Upper position for Charpy testing and lower position for Izod testing.

Easy Striker Change

Changing from one striker to another is achieved by fixing the new striker into position.

Charpy Test

The Charpy test piece rests on alloy steel support anvils, fitted on the base of the machine and rigidly held in position by Allen screws. End stopper is provided for quickly and accurately locating the test piece centrally between the supports.

Izod Test

The Izod test piece is clamped vertically in Izod support fitted on the base of the machine. The support is provided with a machined vertical groove to suit the test piece size. The front clamp piece and Allen screw enable clamping of the test piece in correct height with the help of Izod setting gauge supplied.

Model IT-30 (ASTM)

This impact tester is offered with 300J energy exclusively for Charpy test confirming to ASTM E-23. This machine is geometrically checked in the works to the stringent requirements of the American standard. Accuracy is verified by proof test using standard test specimens supplied by NIST, USA.
