    Pendulum Impact Testing Machine for Metals, Charpy/Izod Impact Test

    The pendulum impact testing machine is engineered for evaluating the impact resistance of metallic materials under dynamic loading conditions. It supports both Charpy and Izod impact testing, making it suitable for quality control, education, and research applications.

    Standards

    ISO 148, EN10045, ASTM E23, GB/T 229, GB/T 12778, GOST 9454

    Testing methods

    Charpy impact test, Izod impact test

    Features
    • Multi-angle testing
      The pendulum can be accurately positioned at any point, enabling a broad range of impact angles and energy levels. This versatility is especially valuable for R&D environments.
    • Dual Test Capability
      Charpy & Izod: The machine supports both Charpy and Izod impact testing without requiring complex reconfiguration. Optional pneumatically integrated Charpy anvil and Izod vice allow fast switching between test methods without replacing fixtures
    • Software control operation (optional)
      With the optional PC-based control package, the operator only needs to load the specimen, while all remaining functions are handled through software commands automatically.
    • Instrumented impact package (optional)
      Supports real-time force and velocity acquisition, automatically generating full impact curves for advanced analysis.
    • Low-temperature system (optional)
      Conditioning down to -180°C supports Charpy testing of materials requiring low-temperature toughness evaluation.

    Yes. A high-stiffness frame combined with a low-friction pendulum shaft enables precise measurement of absorbed energy and fracture toughness for structural steels, cement, and construction components across a wide temperature range. With microcomputer control, the system automatically calculates impact strength, ensuring accurate and reliable test results for engineering applications.

    Absolutely. Equipped with a high-precision angular displacement sensor and an automatic energy-calculation system, the machine delivers accurate and repeatable measurements of absorbed energy and impact strength. This makes it particularly well suited for batch consistency evaluation in metallurgical and mechanical manufacturing industries.

    Yes. The system supports high-speed data acquisition and can generate full force-time or energy-time curves for the entire impact event. This enables detailed analysis of fracture behavior, crack propagation, and ductile-brittle transition characteristics, meeting the needs of advanced materials research.
