Introduction
Charpy/Izod Impact Tester measure the impact strength of materials, particularly metals and plastics. They have resolution impact energy of 0.001 J and pendulum up angle of 160°C (degrees Celsius) . They consist of LCD digital display to view measuring circle angle effectively. They have impact testers for both Izod and Charpy test. Charpy/Izod Impact Tester Equipped with safety guards or enclosures to protect the operator during testing.

FAQ
What are the main applications of the Charpy/Izod Impact Tester?
The Charpy/Izod Impact Tester is used to assess a material's toughness or resistance to sudden loading. It supports material selection, heat-treatment verification and quality control for metals, plastics and components.
Which standards and regulations apply to the Charpy/Izod Impact Tester?
The tester is designed with reference to applicable ISO, ASTM and GB/T standards for impact testing. Pendulum energy, specimens and procedure must follow the relevant standard method. Compliance documentation can be provided on request.
How long is the warranty period?
The complete unit carries a 12-month warranty from delivery, covering the main body, core components and controller against manufacturing defects. Consumables and wearing parts such as filters, seals and probes are not covered. Damage from misuse, improper power or unauthorised repair is excluded, and extended warranty can be quoted.
Will staff need special training?
The controls are designed for regular laboratory use, so most users become confident after a brief introduction. The manual walks through each step, and common settings can be saved for repeat work. Online or on-site training is available if the site requires it.
What is the typical lead time for order delivery?
Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.
Does the Charpy/Izod Impact Tester need calibration or verification?
Regular calibration keeps measurements within the stated accuracy; an annual check is typical, with shorter intervals for heavy or regulated use. Reference standards and procedures are described in the manual. We can quote calibration with certificates.
Where do we get replacement parts?
The instrument uses standard, widely available consumables rather than special locked items. Replacement parts, accessories and consumables can be ordered from us against the model number. We keep common service parts in stock for prompt supply.
Are options or configurations available?
Customisation is supported for many installations, including tailored parameters, connections and accessories. Our team reviews the requirement and confirms feasibility and lead time in advance. We avoid committing to options that cannot be delivered reliably.
How is the Charpy/Izod Impact Tester commissioned?
Benchtop and standard units typically require only placement and connection before use, while larger systems may need professional commissioning. We confirm the installation requirements at order stage. On-site service and training can be provided if needed.
What maintenance and safety points matter?
Do not use incorrectly notched specimens, exceed pendulum ratings or stand in the swing path. Follow specimen preparation and safety rules.
