Charpy Impact Testing

Additional Details

Charpy Impact Test RunCharpy Impact tester released Impact testing has been used in industry for over 100 years as a quick and economical way to establish a material's impact toughness. This high strain rate type of testing usually involves the impact of two objects at a high speed. Whether for quality control purposes or identifying the optimal material for a given application, Our impact testing services provide the results you requ turnkey impact testing programs include test specimen preparation/machining (v-notch) , and data analysis and reporting by our experienced test engineers and technicians. Charpy impact testing is offered at high and low temperatures, as well as room temperature. Charpy Impact Testing Charpy V-Notch testing services offer you a cost effective method for measuring the relative toughness of a material. Accutek performs charpy impact testing in accordance with ASTM E23, which governs details such as notch dimensions and sample size. Charpy testing can be performed on a variety of materials, including metals, polymers, composites and ceramics. For a charpy impact test, a v-notch is machined in the test specimen prior to testing. The specimen is then loaded into the charpy test apparatus and a pendulum axe swings toward the v-notch in the test specimen. The amount of energy absorbed by the material is then calculated to determine that material's toughness. Other Impact TestingAccutek offers a variety of additional impact testing services.
