Applications
It is used for impact toughness determination of rigid plastics, enhanced nylon, glass fiber, reinforced plastics, ceramics, cast stone, insulation material and other nonmetal materials. It is the ideal test equipment of chemical industrial, R&D institution, universities and colleges, quality testing department and professional manufacturer laboratory.
High Accuracy & Standard ComplianceWith a resolution of 1 Joule and direct reading scale, the Izod Impact Tester adheres to international standards (ASTM D256, IS 1598, ISO 180), ensuring valid and comparable results. The precision graduations and interchangeable pendulum allow custom testing setups for various material types and strengths.
Robust Construction & User SafetyConstructed with mild or alloy steel and powder coated for longevity, the heavy base and rigid frame minimize vibrations and maximize repeatability. Built-in safety interlocks, guards, and a specimen centering device provide additional protection, making testing safer and more efficient for users.
Flexible Operation & Easy CalibrationThe tester supports both manual and electric operations, offering variable speed controls and semi-automatic release for user convenience. Factory calibration and certification guarantee accuracy straight out of the box, and routine recalibration can be done via the supplied calibration certificate and operation manual.
FAQs of Izod Impact Tester:
Q: How does the Izod Impact Tester operate and what control modes are available?
