The Pendulum Tester uses microprocessor technology to determine the energy required to break or rupture specimens in plastic or ceramics. The apparatus can test Izod , Charpy or Tension Impact , as well as carry out small diameter pipe testing and component Impact & Puncture tests
The Pendulum Impact Tester utilizes advanced microprocessor technology to determine the energy required to break or rupture specimens such as plastics, composites, ceramics, and nonferrous metals to International testing methods for Izod, Charpy, and Tension Impact Testing. Along with Pipe Testing, Component Testing and Puncture Impact testing the Ray-Ran Universal Pendulum Impact Tester should more than meet all your testing requirements.
Built with operator simplicity in mind, its ease of operation and high accuracy make it ideal for product development and quality control within production, research and development labs, and teaching institutions. The apparatus is extremely versatile. Impact velocities are variable from 1.5 m/s up to 3.8 m/s and combined with highly accurate variable weight hammers which are electronically released by a solenoid, impact energy ranges up to 50 Joules can be reached.
At the start of each batch of tests, a simple calibration of the apparatus is conducted for bearing resistance and windage and after each test sample has been tested, the results are displayed on the LCD giving the Impact energy in KJ/Mand KJ/M².
