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.
