Description

Charpy impact machine for testing polymers and 3D printed materials according to the ISO 179 standard, and metals according to the ASTM E23 standard. Two pendulums are available: a conventional 15 Joules pendulum (as per ISO 179), and an instrumented 50 Joules pendulum (as per ISO 179-2). Testing according to ASTM D6110 is not supported as the pendulums are different (energy, impact speed, pendulum length, drop height).
