Yes, NextGen’s Class G Single-Column Charpy & Izod Impact Tester is fully compliant with ISO 148. It is engineered to meet all technical requirements specified by the standard.

ISO 148 is an international standard that defines the method for determining the notch toughness of metallic materials through Charpy impact testing. It measures a material’s ability to absorb energy and resist fracture when subjected to sudden impact at specified temperatures.

The standard outlines detailed procedures for conducting Charpy impact tests using a notched specimen and a calibrated pendulum hammer. It specifies testing parameters such as specimen dimensions, striker configuration, support span, and impact energy measurement to ensure consistency and accuracy.

ISO 148 is widely used to evaluate the ductile-to-brittle transition behaviour and toughness of metals and alloys. Adherence to this standard is critical in sectors like automotive, aerospace, and structural engineering, where materials must perform reliably under impact conditions.
