API Advanced Pendulum Impact Tester

The API determines the impact strength of standard tension-impact specimens. This high-precision instrument measures the performance of plastics and composites according to ASTM and ISO test methods for Izod, Charpy and Tensile Impact. The automatic brake prevents secondary strike impacts and allows variable starting angles to ensure optimal impact velocity.

An integral Siemens-based PLC and operator interface is used to render all calibration and test functions user-friendly.

Features:

• ISO/ASTM conformance for all sample types
• Izod, Charpy and Tensile Impact Testing
• Available for high energy Impact Testing up to 50 joules
• Automatic brake
• Computerized operator interface
• Cold box for low temperature impact testing (optional)
• Digital clamping force adjustment for Izod testing (optional)
• Test reports available through serial printer port
• Instrumented Impact hammers available for R&D applications
• ISO 179, 180, 8256
• ASTM D256, D6110, D1822 and others
