Impact Testing Equipment & Accessories for Metals

Impact toughness is a critical mechanical property for metals used in pipelines, pressure vessels, structural steelwork, and safety-critical components. Qualitest's Impact Testing Equipment & Accessories for Metals offers a fully integrated solution — from high-capacity Charpy and Izod pendulum machines to drop weight tear testers (DWTT), specimen notch preparation systems, and temperature conditioning baths.

Whether you are performing routine quality control to ASTM E23 or ISO 148, conducting nil-ductility transition temperature (NDT) testing per ASTM E208, or evaluating large-scale DWTT specimens for pipeline acceptance testing to API 5L, Qualitest provides the instrumentation, accessories, and reference specimens needed to achieve accurate, reproducible results.

All instruments are supported by Qualitest's global application engineering team and backed by comprehensive calibration, verification specimen, and after-sales service programs.
