Overview

About the Izod / Charpy Impact Tester

The Izod / Charpy Impact Tester measures the impact resistance of plastics — the energy required to break a specimen by a single swing of a pendulum. It is designed as per ASTM D-256, ASTM D-6110, ISO 179 and ISO 180, supporting both the Izod (cantilever) and Charpy (simple-beam) methods, so laboratories can report toughness in the units required by each standard.

Impact strength is a key indicator of how a plastic will perform under sudden loads and shocks. International Equipments offers both an Analogue model, which reads energy on a dial scale, and a Computerised model, which uses a microcontroller to display impact strength directly and produce impact-energy versus angular-displacement graphs and numeric reports through a connected PC. For accurate, repeatable results, the tester is used together with a Motorised Notch Cutter to prepare standard notches.

FAQ

Izod / Charpy Impact Tester — FAQs

What is an Izod / Charpy Impact Tester used for?
It measures the impact resistance of plastics — the energy required to break a notched specimen with a single pendulum swing — per ASTM D-256, ASTM D-6110, ISO 179 and ISO 180, by the Izod and Charpy methods.
What is the difference between Izod and Charpy?
Both measure impact energy but hold the specimen differently — clamped vertically as a cantilever (Izod) or supported horizontally as a simple beam (Charpy). Our tester supports both.
What capacities are available?
The computerised model goes up to 25.00 Joules (five scales) and the analogue model up to 21.68 Joules (four scales); both use a 150° pendulum release angle.
Computerised vs analogue — what's the difference?
The analogue model reads energy on a dial scale; the computerised model displays impact strength in joules/meter and kg-cm/cm and produces graphs and numeric reports in ASTM, ISO and IS units via a connected PC and printer.
Do you export the Izod / Charpy Impact Tester?
Yes. We export to more than 50 countries and have equipped over 10,000 laboratories in India and abroad.
