Test ID

M-426

Description

A Dynatup POE 2000 apparatus is used to impact a specimen.  Specimens are bars with dimensions specified in ASTM and notched accordingly.  Sample is clamped vertically, with notch on impact side.  Machine is connected to a computer to give load deflection curve.  At set velocity and energy, pendulum is released to impact specimen.  Test is complete when pendulum completes one swing.  Five replicates are performed.

Options

Standards

  • ASTM D256
  • ISO 180

Data

Break Type, Impact Resistance. This data appears in Matereality as Izod Impact.

Replicates

Number of times this test is repeated: 5

Samples

10 notched Izod specimens [details]

Application

This test is used as a means of quality control or materials specification. It can, in some cases, be used on a finished product to determine if the part will fracture under the set conditions. Data gathered from this test are valuable for comparative purposes, to aid the engineer in choosing an appropriate material for a specific application.
