FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is an Izod / Charpy Impact Tester?

An Izod / Charpy Impact Tester is a laboratory instrument used to determine the impact strength of materials by measuring the energy absorbed during fracture caused by a sudden impact.

2. What is the difference between Izod and Charpy tests?

The Izod test holds the specimen vertically with the notch facing the pendulum, while the Charpy test supports the specimen horizontally with the notch facing away from the impact point.

3. Which materials can be tested?

The instrument is suitable for plastics, polymers, rubber, composite materials, metals, engineering plastics, and other industrial materials.

4. What standards does the tester comply with?

It can be manufactured to comply with ASTM, ISO, and IS standards depending on customer requirements.

5. Is the impact energy adjustable?

Yes. Different pendulums with varying impact energy capacities are available to suit different testing applications.

6. Where is the Izod / Charpy Impact Tester used?

It is widely used in plastic industries, research laboratories, universities, automotive industries, quality control laboratories, and material testing centers.
