Pendulum Impact Tester (Model - IT30(D) )

The pendulum Impact Tester, Model IT-30 is designed for conducting Izod, Charpy test. The test methods confirm to BS:131:PART 4-1972

(Amended 15 Aug. 1993) BSEN:10045-2:1993.

The pendulum is mounted on antifriction bearings. It has two starting positions, the upper one for Charpy the lower one for Izod testing. On release, the pendulum swings down to break the specimen & the energy absorbed in doing so is measured as the difference between the height of drop before rupture of the test specimen and is read from the maximum pointer position on the dial scale.

(It is read on digital readout in case of electronic machines).

There are two strikers and one combined support anvil available for fitting in to the pendulum and on the base of machine for the Izod, Charpy test respectively. Changing from one striker to another is achieved simply by fixing the new striker into it’s position.

CHARPY TEST

The Charpy test piece rests on alloy steel support anvils, fitted on the base of the machine 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 the Allen screw enable clamping of the test piece in correct height with the help of Izod setting gauge supplied.
