Yes, the GenNotch 4000UPG is engineered to support specimen notches and tolerances consistent with DIN 50115 requirements, enabling preparation of notched specimens in line with that German impact testing standard.

DIN 50115 is a German standard for notched bar impact bending tests on metallic materials (Kerbschlagbiegeversuch). It defines specimen dimensions, notch types (V and U), test conditions, energy absorption measurement, and procedures for conducting the impact test. DIN 50115 has historically aligned with ISO/R 83 and ISO/R 148 formats, prescribing impact hammer speeds (e.g. about 5 to 5.5 m/s for certain energy ranges), specimen placement, and reporting of absorbed energy. Over time, DIN 50115 has been withdrawn and replaced by international standards (notably ISO 148 series) but remains relevant when dealing with legacy test data or conformity to formerly adopted German norms.
