SETTING THE BENCHMARK IN IMPACT RESISTANCE TESTING

The Izod Impact Tester is an essential instrument for determining the toughness or brittleness of materials under controlled impact conditions. Using the Izod method , a standardized testing procedure, this machine provides reliable data on how a specimen behaves when subjected to a sudden force. By simulating real world impact conditions, the Izod impact testing machine helps manufacturers ensure that their materials and products meet strict quality and safety requirements.

In an Izod pendulum impact tester , the specimen is mounted vertically as a cantilever beam and struck by a swinging pendulum. The energy absorbed during fracture is measured to determine the material’s resistance to impact. This testing process is critical for industries such as plastics , composites , metals , and pipe manufacturing, where durability under sudden loads is a key performance factor.

Testron Group’s digital Izod impact tester offers a combination of precision, efficiency, and compliance with international Izod impact test standards such as ISO 180 and ASTM D 256. Whether you need to evaluate the performance of polymers , check product safety , or ensure compliance , our Izod impact testing equipment delivers repeatable, accurate, and industry approved results.

HOW THE IZOD IMPACT TESTING MACHINE WORKS

The Izod impact testing equipment operates on a straightforward yet highly accurate principle:-

  1. Sample Preparation – Specimens are machined to specific dimensions according to the chosen standard.
  2. Mounting – The specimen is clamped vertically with the notch ( if present ) facing the pendulum
  3. Pendulum Release – The pendulum is released from a fixed height to strike the specimen.
  4. Data Recording – The energy absorbed during fracture is calculated automatically.
  5. Analysis – Results can be stored , printed , and compared for quality control purposes.

The digital Izod impact tester improves accuracy by reducing manual calculations and minimizing operator errors.
