A Charpy / Izod impact tester measures the energy absorbed by a plastic or metal specimen when it fractures under a sudden impact from a swinging pendulum. The pendulum is raised to a fixed height, released, and strikes the specimen at the bottom of its swing; the energy consumed in breaking the sample is read from the difference between the pendulum's starting and follow-through heights. In the Izod configuration the notched specimen is clamped vertically as a cantilever, while in the Charpy configuration it is supported horizontally as a simple beam and struck behind the notch.
Impact testing is essential for any manufacturer whose products must survive drops, shocks or low-temperature service. Automotive component makers, electrical enclosure manufacturers, pipe fitting producers and toy makers all specify notched impact strength to ASTM D256, ISO 179 (Charpy) and ISO 180 (Izod). The test quickly reveals brittleness caused by poor material selection, incorrect processing temperature, contamination or ageing, making it a routine incoming-inspection and failure-analysis tool in polymer laboratories.
Key considerations when buying a Charpy / Izod impact tester include the range of pendulum energies (interchangeable hammers let one frame cover a wide range of specimen toughness), the ease of switching between Izod and Charpy fixtures, and the accuracy of the energy readout. A motorised notch cutter is a valuable companion instrument, since notch geometry strongly affects results and must be reproducible. International Equipments supplies matched impact testers and notch cutters that comply with ASTM and ISO notch specifications.
