Setting up the NG-ImpactFall for impact resistance testing involves a few critical steps to ensure accurate and reliable results. Initially, the pipe or profile to be tested is placed onto the machine’s workbench. Carefully, it is aligned to align the sample’s upper surface with the lower edge of the photoelectric correlation system. This alignment is crucial for precise impact measurements. The next step is to select the correct hammerhead and weight based on the test standard requirements, assembling the impact hammer to match these specifications.

The height of the electromagnetic absorb system is then adjusted, and the hammer is suspended in place, ready for the test. The test is initiated by releasing the hammer, allowing it to fall freely from a set height onto the sample. The test outcome is determined by examining the sample for ruptures. A pass is indicated by one or no ruptures, showing that the pipe or profile can withstand impact according to the standard. Multiple ruptures, however, suggest that the material does not meet the required impact resistance criteria.
