Certech is upgrading its Charpy/Izod impact testing capabilities for plastics and composites with a new pendulum system.
The features of this new instrument are:
- ISO & ASTM compliance for Charpy and Izod (ISO 179, ISO 180, ASTM D6110, ASTM D256), with an energy range of 0.5–25 J depending on the hammer used.
- Fast changeover between Charpy/Izod configurations and interchangeable hammers (low/high energy), for greater flexibility and throughput.
- Integrated touchscreen interface with pre-configured methods for reliable, repeatable test campaigns.
- Low-temperature chamber, automatic hammer recognition
- Patented one-piece hammer design for higher stiffness and improved accuracy.
Certech’s technology platform allows the complete characterization of materials (chemical, physical, mechanical and sensory properties).
