MECHANICAL IMPACT TESTING MACHINES

The Pendulum Impact Tester Model - It30 is designed for conducting Izod & Charpy test The test methods confirm to BS-131:PART 4 - 1972 (Amended 15 Aug - 1993) & BSEN : 10045 - 2 : 1993.

The Pendulum is mounted on antifriction bearings. It has two starting positions, the upper one for charpy and the lower one for Izod testing On release, the pendulum swings down to break the speciment and the energy absorved indoing so is measured as the differnece between the height of drop before rupture & height of raise after rupture of the test specimen and is read from the maximum pointer on the dial scale.The Pendulum is mounted on antifriction bearings.

The Pendulum supported in the starting positions is by a self resetting latch. The release mechanism is operated by lever The pendulum release latch is operated only when this lever is operated.

There are two strikers & one combined support availabel for fitting into the Pendulum & on to the base of the machine for Izod, Charpy test. Changing from one striker to another is achieved simply by fixing the new striker into its positions.

• Caliper gauge for checking V notch for Izod
• Charpy as per BS : 131 : PART 1,2,3.
• Depth notch gauge including V&U notch, angle & radius.
• Self-centering tong.
• V-notch miling cutter.
• U-notch miling cutter.

The Charpy test piece rests on alloy steel supports anvils. Fitted on the base of the machine rigidly held in position by allen screws. End stopper is provided for quickly & accurately loading the test piece centrally between the supports.

The Izod test piece is clamped vertically in Izod support anvils, fitted on the base of the machine. The support is provided with a achined vertical groove to suit the test piece size. The front clamp piece & allen screw enable clamping of the test piece in correct height with the help of Izod setting gauge supplied.

Resever the right of change in the above specifications due to continuous changes in design.
