Impact Properties

The test will be conducted as per ASTM D 256 and ISO 180 and the procedure lay out by the customers. Energy per unit thickness required to break a test specimen under flexural impact. Test specimen is held as a vertical cantilevered beam and is impacted by a swinging pendulum. The energy lost by the pendulum is equated with the energy absorbed by the test specimen

• Izod-Impact Strength -Specimen is held as a vertical cantilevered beam and is broken by a pendulum. Impact occurs on the notched side of the specimen.
• Charpy-Impact Strength -Specimen is held as a simply supported beam and is impacted on the side opposite the notch.
