PENDULUM IMPACT TEST: The hammer
We use an automatic pendulum impact tester with a digital display for this purpose. The pendulum control and result evaluation are controlled by an electronic program. Before testing, it is necessary to prepare special specimens (in shape of elongated notched cuboids). The specimen geometry is normative precisely specified. The decisive factor here is the notch in a V or U shape. Notch angle, notch radius and notch position must correspond exactly to the normative specifications in order to produce reproducible results.
At the test the pendulum hammer falls against the sample and shatters it. A break occurs. The impact energy required to break the specimen is measured and displayed directly. This is done fully automatically on our testing device.
It is also possible to cool the samples down to -80°C in order to carry out tests at low temperatures. A cooling device with a liquid medium is available for this purpose. In this case, statements can be made about the behavior of the material at low temperatures. Testing at low temperatures may be necessary depending on the application and/or test requirements.
