Impact Test Machine

The document describes an impact test machine used for conducting Izod and Charpy tests to determine the energy absorbed when a material fractures. The machine has a pendulum mounted on bearings that can be released from two heights for the different tests. A striker on the pendulum breaks specimen on the base and the absorbed energy is measured by the difference in pendulum height before and after fracture. The machine has components for clamping Izod and supporting Charpy specimens and confirming to various standards. A model is exclusively for 300J Charpy testing and is verified through proof tests with standard specimens.

IMPACT TEST MACHINE

MODEL : IT-30 & IT-30(D)

IMPACT TESTER

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
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 15Aug. 1993) BSEN: 100452:1993.
The pendulum is mounted on antifriction bearings. It has
two starting positions, the upper one for Charpy the lower
on 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 its 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

MODEL : IT-30 (ASTM)


The Impact Tester offered with 300J energy exclusively for Charpy
test confirming to ASTM E-23. This machine is geometrically
checked in the works to the more stringent requirments of the
American strandard. The accuracy of the machine is then verified
by PROOF TEST by testing standard test specimen supplied by the
NIST, USA. Two sets (Low & High energy-1 Set (4 Nos.) each.)
must agree with the normal values within certain tolerance
specified.
