2. In most cases for Izod Charpy and Tension the tests are will be carried out in accordance with International Test Standards which will define the testing parameters and stipulate test sample sizes The machine can also be used to conduct Round Robin Comparison Tests to monitor the impact strength of materials and establish a quality control acceptance level The choice of the pendulum velocity weight and energy can only be obtained by conducting tests on the component It may not be possible to input the size of the component by using just its width and thickness therefore some suitable constants say 10mm x 10mm must be used so that test results although meaningless in themselves will allow a comparison to be made between different specifications of polymers Whatever test parameters are chosen to ensure accurate test results the energy to break the sample must be between 10 and 80 of the energy of the pendulum hammer Some standards specify just the pendulum hammer energy and velocity and in these instances the weight of the pendulum hammer must be determined using the following calculation Advanced Universal Pendulum Impact Tester Metric Units Imperial Units 2J 64 32 E We peers Wee Sees V2 V2 M Hammer Weight kg W Hammer Weight Ibs J Hammer Kinetic Energy joules E Hammer Kinetic Energy ft lbf V Hammer Velocity m s V Hammer Velocity ft s When pendulum hammers fitted with interchangeable

The computer will default back to the opening screen and the display will default back to lt Operator gt Puncture Testing For Puncture Testing a slightly different procedure is followed If a new material is to be tested with no parameters known eg Impact energy velocity etc it is best to select an impact energy that is quite high The weights of the hammer can be seen on the calibration certificate that is supplied with the machine If the impact energy is greater than the material energy the hammer will strike the shock Advanced Universal Pendulum Impact Tester absorber recording the amount of energy left in the hammer after fracture The hammer then can be reduced by this energy to give a good test Tip Conduct a test using just one sample to test your parameters before you start a complete batch of samples as you cannot adjust the parameters entered into the machine through a test To perform a test First turn on the Machine and open the software On the display of the apparatus the user will be prompted to lt Rotate Encoders The pendulum must be rotated anti clockwise approximately 90 and then back to rest in its free hanging vertical position The display should read lt 0000 0003 gt If not adjust the feet on the apparatus until the vertical plane of the hammer is within the specified limits Press lt Ok gt green button Display reads lt Operator gt on the LCD The user is given the option to enter a new opera
