WHAT IS IMPACT TEST
▪ An impact test is used to observe the mechanics that a material will exhibit when it
experiences a shock loading that causes the specimen to immediately deform, fracture or
rupture completely.
▪ This test require a known weight of and a known height so that it collides with the specimen
with a sudden force.
▪ This collision between the weight and specimen generally results in the destruction of the
specimen but the transfer of energy between the two is used to determine the fracture
mechanics of the material.
PURPOSE
The purpose of an impact test is to determine the ability of the material to absorb
energy during a collision.
This energy may be used to determine the materials
Toughness
impact strength
fracture resistance
These values are important for the selection of materials that will be used in
applications that require the material to undergo very rapid loading processes
TYPES OF IMPACT TEST
Pendulum impact test
▪ Pendulum impact testing is performed to determine the amount of energy dissipated during
fracture of a material under severe loading conditions. The importance of the fracture energy
was proved by several catastrophic failures of steel constructions.
Drop weight impact test
▪ A drop weight impact test typically determines a material’s resistance to a sudden external
force. This type of test is also applicable for pipe testing where the impact resistance of
thermoplastic pipes is measured.
PENDULUM IMPACT TEST
For a pendulum impact test the three most popular types, these are :
▪ Charpy V-notch test
▪ Izod test
▪ Tensile Impact test
These three tests all essentially determine the same characteristics of the material but differ
in the orientation of the test sample which causes the sample to be stressed in different
directions and involve a known weight released from a known height colliding with the
specimen in its test fixture.

STEPS IN CHARPY IMPACT TEST
Test Procedure
▪ A Charpy V-notch specimen is placed
across parallel jaws in the impact-
testing machine.
▪ The pointer is set up to its maximum
value.
▪ The hammer is released from the initial
height downward towards the sample.
▪ Observations and the energy absorbed
are recorded and tabulated.
▪ Steps 1-3 are repeated for another
specimen.
IZOD IMPACT TEST
STEPS IN IZOD IMPACT TEST
Test Procedure
▪ A Izod test specimen is placed vertically
in jaws in the impact-testing machine.
▪ The pointer is set up to its maximum
value
▪ The hammer is released from the initial
height downward towards the sample.
▪ Observations and the energy absorbed
are recorded and tabulated.
▪ Steps 1-3 are repeated for another
specimen.

STEPS IN TENSILE IMPACT TEST
Test Procedure
▪ A tensile test specimen is clamped in
jaws in the crosshead of impact-testing
machine.
▪ The pointer is set up to its maximum
value
▪ The hammer is released from the initial
height downward towards the sample.
▪ Observations and the energy absorbed
are recorded and tabulated.
▪ Steps 1-3 are repeated for another
specimen.
