FAQs

The Class J - Charpy and Izod Automatic Impact Testing System has dimensions of 1000x300x760mm (Length x Width x Height).

The machine's length is 1000mm, its width is 300mm, and its height is 760mm. These measurements indicate the testing system's physical size and space requirements. The length dimension refers to the horizontal extent of the machine, the width dimension represents the side-to-side measurement, and the height dimension indicates the vertical height of the system.

Considering machine dimensions is imperative for several reasons. It helps determine the amount of space required for installation and operation, ensuring that the testing system fits comfortably in the designated area. Additionally, knowing the dimensions can help plan the layout of the testing laboratory or facility, optimizing workflow and accessibility.

The 1000x300x760mm dimensions provide a compact and space-efficient design, making the Class J - Charpy and Izod Automatic Impact Testing System suitable for various testing environments while maintaining its functionality and performance.

Yes. ISO 13802 is listed among the standards for the Class J system, alongside the test methods it runs: ISO 179, ISO 180, ISO 8256, ISO 9854.1, ASTM D256, ASTM D1822 and ASTM D6110.

ISO 13802 is not a specimen test method. It sets the frequency and methods for verifying pendulum impact machines used on plastics for Charpy, Izod and tensile impact, by checking the geometrical and physical properties of the machine's parts. Verification is expected at installation, after a repair or a move, and at regular intervals.

The number of pendulums affects that workload. We recommend equipping one machine with fewer than five pendulums, because more than five makes the calibration procedure more complicated.

Installation, training and calibration are part of the service we provide when we equip a laboratory with impact testing.

The angle encoder on the Class J has no shaft of its own. The pendulum head is mounted on the encoder mount, so the encoder reads the swing at the pivot and rotates without friction.

That matters because a pendulum tester works out absorbed energy from the difference between the height the pendulum is released from and the height it reaches after breaking the specimen. Any energy lost in the measuring system shows up as energy taken by the specimen, and with plastics, where pendulums start at 1 J, a small loss can be a noticeable share of the reading.

Keeping friction out of the encoder keeps that loss at its lowest, so more of the recorded energy comes from the break itself. The pendulum is held and released by an electromagnetic hook, which comes with the standard accessories.

Set-up happens on the touch screen. The operator enters the specimen dimensions, the energy of the fitted pendulum, the units to report in and the calibration data, so changing from Charpy to Izod or tensile impact comes down to swapping the pendulum and fixtures and updating these entries.

During the test the screen shows the angle, the impact energy and the strength, and the results include absorbed energy and impact toughness. Because the specimen dimensions are entered first, toughness is reported directly next to the absorbed energy.

How results leave the machine depends on the build. The NGI-501J J-2 includes a micro-printer for a printed record at the machine, while the J-3 comes with software instead of the printer. Both builds include the controller with digital display, the shaftless angle encoder and the half protection shield.

The Izod Test in the Class J - Charpy and Izod Automatic Impact Testing System follows the following standards and angles of striking:

  • Standard: ISO 180, ASTM D256
  • Angle of striking: 150° (ISO 180), 145.2° (ASTM D256)

The ISO 180 standard specifies the test method for plastic impact strength determination using the Izod test. In this test, the striking angle is set at 150°, which refers to the angle at which the pendulum strikes the specimen.

Similarly, the ASTM D256 standard also describes the test method for determining plastic impact resistance using the Izod test. However, in this case, the striking angle is slightly different, namely 145.2°.

The newton-metre values are the moments each pendulum develops, and they set its nominal energy at the 150° striking angle. Joules and newton-metres share the same base unit, which is why the two are easy to confuse: the moment belongs to the pendulum, while the joule figure is the energy it delivers.

Charpy pendulums: 1 J at 0.5358983 Nm, 2 J at 1.0717967 Nm, 4 J at 2.1435935 Nm, 7.5 J at 4.0192 Nm, 15 J at 8.0385 Nm, 25 J at 13.397 Nm and 50 J at 26.795 Nm.

Izod pendulums: 1 J at 0.5358983 Nm, 2.75 J at 1.4737205 Nm, 5.5 J at 2.94744 Nm, 11 J at 5.8949 Nm and 22 J at 11.7898 Nm.

The tensile impact pendulums at 7.5 J, 15 J and 25 J develop the same moments as the Charpy pendulums of equal energy, listed to more decimal places as 4.01923, 8.03847 and 13.39745 Nm.

Yes. Charpy, Izod and tensile impact all run on the same Class J frame, and changing test means changing the pendulum and its fixtures, not the machine.

Each test type has its own pendulums: Charpy from 1 J to 50 J, Izod from 1 J to 22 J and tensile impact from 7.5 J to 25 J, with separate ASTM pendulums where the ASTM methods use different energies. The fixtures change with them, from the Charpy support and span blocks to the Izod vise jaw and the tensile impact anvil and crosshead.

The pendulum ranges overlap, so a given energy can often be reached with two different pendulums. That lets a lab cover its materials with a short list rather than every size on offer.

Send us your standards and energy range, and we will list the pendulums, supports and fixtures that cover them.

The Class J - Charpy and Izod Automatic Impact Testing System offers different energy levels for the Tensile Impact test. The available energy levels and their corresponding values in Newton-meters (Nm) are as follows:

  • 5 J: This energy level corresponds to 4.01923 Nm.
