Izod / Charpy Impact Tester for Plastics

Izod / Charpy Impact Tester for Plastics QPI-D Series

Izod/Charpy Impact Tester for Plastics QPI-D Series is designed to measure the impact resistance of polymer materials. It uses the principle of energy conversion to determine the energy absorbed by a specimen during impact. The precision of the pendulum directly affects its velocity and the position of the center of mass, which in turn impacts the accuracy of test results.

The QPI-D Series features an automated pendulum lift and release system, reducing manual intervention while improving testing efficiency and safety. A 7-inch PLC touch screen with an encoder allows for direct angle measurement and energy calculation. An integrated correction system compensates for energy loss due to air resistance and friction, ensuring highly accurate results.

Izod and Charpy are two widely used impact testing methods. The system provides the flexibility to quickly switch pendulums and vises, meeting a range of testing requirements while complying with ASTM and ISO standards.

Testing Procedure

Specimen Alignment Select the Charpy or Izod fixture based on your testing requirements. The specimen vise includes a positioning mechanism to ensure precise placement of the specimen, guaranteeing that the impact point is centered accurately.
Initiating the Test Apply impact to the specimen using the pendulum, aided by its automatic release feature, which streamlines and simplifies the testing process.
Data Acquisition Impact data is displayed in real time, and energy measurements are automatically corrected using the machine’s built-in compensation system for air resistance and friction losses. The display can store up to 50 data sets, and test results can be exported to a computer via USB.
