DYNATUP 8250 Instrumented Impact Tester

Description

The Dynatup 8250 is a drop weight impact test tower. The machine can test the impact characteristics of an extensive variety of materials and components over a wide range of impact velocities. Data from these tests can then be used in the evaluation of material or component performance. Non-ambient impact testing is possible through use of an incorporated environmental chamber.

Operating range

Impact Energy: 0.6 to 303 Joules (gravity driven); 16.2 to 840 Joules (pneumatically assisted)
Impact Velocity: 1 to 3.66 m/sec (gravity driven); 3.66 to 13.41 m/sec (pneumatically assisted)
Load Range: 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100 lbs
Temperature: -40°C to 55°C

Application

multiaxial impact properties: load and energy vs. deflection
high speed flexural properties of plastics and high speed compressive properties of foams
