Yes, the GenNotch 4000UPG is designed to fully comply with ISO 148-1 (Metallic materials — Charpy pendulum impact test, Part 1: Test method). It prepares V- and U-notches meeting the dimensional and positional tolerances stipulated in that standard, ensuring the specimens produced are suitable for ISO-compliant Charpy impact testing.

The ISO 148-1 standard defines the methodology for conducting Charpy impact tests on metallic materials. It specifies standard specimen dimensions (for example, 55 mm length, 10 × 10 mm cross-section for full size, and alternate thicknesses of 7.5, 5.0 or 2.5 mm), the placement and geometry of V and U notches, and requirements for temperature control and time limits during specimen transfer to the impact tester. The standard ensures that tests across different labs are comparable by standardizing specimen preparation, notch geometry, test temperature conditions, and procedural timing. The GenNotch 4000UPG’s capabilities align with these requirements to deliver consistent ISO-conformant notched specimens.
