A pendulum impact tester that measures the notched impact strength of plastics in both Izod and Charpy configurations — available in Computerised (up to 25 J) and Analogue (up to 21.68 J) models.
Impact strength predicts how a rigid plastic survives sudden shocks — a dropped part, a knock on a pipe or panel. A calibrated pendulum is raised to a fixed 150° release angle and swung to strike a notched specimen; the energy absorbed in breaking it is the impact energy, in Joules. The notch concentrates stress for repeatable, comparable results.
International Equipments builds the tester in Computerised and Analogue variants: Izod clamps the specimen vertically as a cantilever (notch facing the strike), while Charpy supports it horizontally at both ends. Both comply with ASTM D256, D6110, ISO 179/180 and IS 13208/13360. Manufactured in Mumbai, CE marked and calibration-certified.
Same standards and pendulum design — the difference is digital reporting versus analogue scale reading.
Microcontroller + PC: up to 25 J (50 J on request), five interchangeable scales, automatic unit conversion, an Impact Energy vs Angular Displacement graph and printable ASTM/ISO/IS reports — for ISO 9001 / NABL labs.
Pendulum-and-pointer tester read directly from a calibrated mechanical scale — the economical choice for small QC labs, polytechnic colleges and ITI institutes.
Computerised model specifications; the Analogue model runs to 21.68 J with a mechanical scale.
