DuPont Impact Tester

Product Description

An impact tester is a device used to measure the toughness or impact resistance of materials. It evaluates how a material behaves under sudden, high-force impacts, which is crucial for understanding its durability and performance in real-world applications.

There are various types of impact testers, including:

1. Charpy Impact Tester Measures the amount of energy absorbed by a material during a high-velocity impact. It uses a notched sample, and the energy required to break the sample is measured.

2. Izod Impact Tester Similar to the Charpy tester but the sample is held vertically and struck horizontally. It also measures the energy absorbed by the material during impact.

3. Drop Weight Tester Involves dropping a weight from a certain height onto the material to simulate impact forces. Its used for testing materials like plastics and metals.

4. Pendulum Impact Tester Uses a swinging pendulum to strike a sample and measures the energy absorbed by the material during impact.

The choice of tester depends on the specific requirements of the material and the type of impact testing needed.
