Drop Hammer Test Equipment
High repeatability and accuracy in measuring impact resistance of various substrates
Application
Designed to fully comply with ISO 3127 and equivalent standardized test methodologies, the Falling Weight Impact Testing Machine serves as a critical solution for evaluating the impact resistance performance of plastic piping products.
Widely adopted across scientific research institutions, quality inspection laboratories, and manufacturing enterprises engaged in the development and production of plastic pipes including PVC‑U, PVC‑O and other polymer pipe variants, this instrument delivers precise and repeatable test data essential for material characterization and quality assurance.
The system incorporates a highly adaptable drop hammer configuration, supporting a mass spectrum ranging from 0.5 kg to 16 kg. It features automatic calculation and real-time digital display of the corresponding impact height, ensuring accurate and consistent test setup.
Compatible with both pass-fail test method and gradient test procedure, this falling weight impact tester combines user-friendly operation with enhanced safety mechanisms and dependable long-term performance.
Testing Principle
Test specimens are impacted by a falling striker of defined mass and geometry, released from a predetermined height onto designated locations on the specimen circumference.
The intensity level of this test procedure may be modulated by adjusting the mass of the striker and/or modifying the drop height. The maximum permissible value for the TIR is defined as 10%.
