The Class H tester is aimed at labs that work with structural and high-strength metals. Typical users include steel mills, forging and heat-treatment shops, pipe and plate producers, automotive and truck component manufacturers, power generation suppliers and heavy equipment builders. Any facility that needs Charpy testing for welds, heat affected zones or base materials can use this system in daily QA and procedure qualification.

On the personnel side, it is normally operated by lab technicians, QC and QA engineers and test engineers. Lab managers and quality managers rely on its results and reports to approve batches and qualify processes. In engineering organizations, R&D or materials engineers also use the instrumented version to study fracture behavior in more detail, especially when comparing alloys or testing new heat treatments.
