Drop Weight  Impact Tester

The test results , especially the True Impact Rate ( TIR ) , provide a reliable estimate of a production batch’s compliance. Manufacturers often adopt the round the clock method or staircase method to determine the TIR , ensuring quality consistency across every production run.

When selecting the best falling weight impact tester or drop weight impact test machine, it’s essential to consider not only the drop weight impact test standard compliance but also the machine’s adaptability for future testing requirements. Testron’s range of equipment is designed with long term durability, easy calibration , and compatibility with various drop weight impact test machine accessories, ensuring that laboratories and production facilities can handle diverse material testing needs without frequent equipment upgrades.

This adaptability makes our machines a cost effective choice in the long run, especially when you factor in the competitive drop weight impact tester price and the industry leading support provided by one of the top falling weight impact tester manufacturers. Whether you require a compact benchtop model for small scale testing or a fully automated drop weight impact testing machine for large production runs, Testron delivers unmatched reliability and precision, solidifying its position as a trusted partner in quality assurance.

1. Falling Weight Impact Tester – Standard Model

The standard Falling Weight Impact Tester is designed to determine the resistance of thermoplastic pipes with circular cross sections to external blows. A falling striker, with a specified mass and shape, is dropped from a known height onto the pipe’s circumference.

Key Highlights:

• True Impact Rate estimation for batch or production runs.
• Maximum TIR acceptance typically set at 10%.
• Suitable for both round the clock and staircase test methods.
• Robust construction for long term industrial use.
