The Class G Single-Column Charpy & Izod Impact Tester has a 2 mm striking edge radius. This means that the edge of the striking component, such as the pendulum or striker, has a rounded shape with a radius of 2 mm.

The radius of the striking edge is a crucial parameter in impact testing as it influences the stress distribution and contact area during impact. A smaller radius provides a more concentrated force, while a larger radius distributes it over a wider area. The specific radius chosen depends on the testing requirements and standards being followed.

With a 2 mm striking edge radius, the Class G machine delivers controlled and precise impacts on test specimens. This radius ensures consistent and accurate results by providing a well-defined striking point on the specimen surface.

The 2 mm radius of the striking edge balances concentrated force and contact area. This makes it suitable for a wide range of impact testing applications. It allows for reliable assessment of material properties, fracture behaviour, and performance under dynamic loading conditions.
