Tinius Olsen’s high energy pendulum impact tester, model IT406, can be easily changed from a Charpy configuration to an Izod configuration and has a maximum available energy of 406 J. These testers are designed primarily for determining the impact resistance of metals and are designed to fully comply with the specifications outlined in ASTM E23, ISO 148-2 and ISO 148-3.
The model IT406 provides maximum testing versatility. Easy insertion of interchangeable strikers in the pendulum head quickly adapts the machine for either Charpy or Izod testing. Two studs on the rear of the pendulum head allow optional tooling to be attached for performing tension impact tests.
A latch with a safety lock holds the pendulum in its raised position and assures a vibration-free release when activated. Once released, the pendulum quickly reaches the impact velocity of 5.47m/s and has a maximum available energy of 406 J to impact the specimen.
Features & benefits
- Precision, friction compensated, robust test frames.
- Impact velocity of 5,47 m/s.
- Digital display option allows test set-up and result display.
- Digital display option allows simple connection to PC for full test SPC analysis.
- Safety features ensure repetitive secure testing.
Accessories
- Simple electric brake to slow the swinging pendulum to a stop.
- Automatic motorized return eliminates the need for any operator involvement other than releasing the pendulum.
- For high traffic areas, Tinius Olsen can supply a complete enclosure for the machine so that the swinging pendulum and broken specimens do not pose any safety concerns. The enclosure is completely interlocked so that the machine cannot operate unless all the guards are in place.
- Tinius Olsen’s Horizon software can be added to your system to provide a library of standardised test routines, generate a complete graphical result of your test, and perform sophisticated powerful analyses on the test data to produce the test reports you need.
