Impact Testing Machine – HIT-300C-ASTM
Impact Testing Machine, also known as an Impact Tester, is a device used to determine the impact resistance or toughness of materials. This type of testing is crucial in assessing a material’s ability to withstand sudden or dynamic loading conditions, such as collisions, impacts, or sudden shocks. The information obtained from impact tests helps engineers and researchers understand the behavior of materials and ensure their suitability for specific applications. The primary purpose of an Impact Tester is to subject a material specimen to a controlled and well-defined impact force, and then measure the material’s response to the impact.
Key Features
- Pendulum: The heart of the impact testing machine is a pendulum. It is a heavy mass that can swing freely on a pivot. The pendulum is raised to a predetermined height and then released to impact the specimen.
- Striking Edge: At the end of the pendulum, there is a striking edge. This striking edge comes in contact with the specimen, delivering the impact force.
- Specimen Holder: The Impact Testing Machine includes a fixture or holder that securely holds the material specimen in place, ensuring proper alignment and positioning for the impact.
- Measuring Instruments: The machine is equipped with various sensors and measuring instruments to capture the impact parameters, such as impact force, time duration of impact, and displacement of the pendulum. These measurements are essential for calculating the material’s toughness or energy absorption capacity during impact.
