Falling-weight impact tester for pipes, as per IS 4985 and IS 12235 (Part 9), to test the impact strength of pipes.
The Impact Tester for Pipes is a falling-weight tester used to check the impact strength of plastic pipes, as per IS 4985 and IS 12235 (Part 9). Pipes used for water, gas and drainage must resist sudden knocks and impacts during handling, installation and service, so manufacturers verify impact resistance as a routine quality check.
In the test, the pipe sample is placed on a 120° V block and a stainless-steel striker of known weight is released from a set height to strike the pipe. By selecting the height of fall (500, 1000 or 2000 mm) and the striker weight (250, 500 or 1000 g), the required impact energy can be applied and the pipe examined for failure. The tester is typically used together with the Zero Degree Chamber, which conditions samples to the standard low temperature before impact.
