Falling Weight Impact Tester

Falling weight impact tester is used to determine the resistance to external blows of thermoplastics pipes of circular cross-section. Test pieces are subject to blow from a falling striker, of specified mass and shape, dropped from a known height onto a specified position around the circumference of the test piece. The true impact rate of the batch, or production run from an extruder, is estimated. The maximum value acceptable for the TIR is taken to be 10%. There are two test methods–the round-the-clock method and the staircase method.

Falling Weight Impact Tester Standards:

ISO3127, BS EN744, BS EN1411, ISO11173

Falling Weight Impact Tester Features:

The function of an anti-rebound device has the catching rate of 100%.
The import AC servo system will guarantee the high locating precision and fast rising speed.
The impact height may be set between 50 to 2000mm, also the impact height may be calibrated
automatically.
Automatic personal safeguards are considered, e.g. specimen door, anti-shock and striker window
safeguard etc. Test can only be carried out when the test chamber and window are closed.
