Polymers are utilized in numerous industries for different applications. Therefore, the plastic testing equipment are utilized in several industries for inspection distinct properties of polymer. There are several stages of production and so there are various levels of testing. For example while selecting the raw material, while cutting, while moulding, and final durability testing. In order to test the quality of rigid plastic substances Izod Charpy impact tester is utilized.
For this test, you can’t not use the plastic specimen of any type directly, you first need to prepare the testing specimen as per the testing standards. In Izod Charpy, the specimen must have a fixed shape notch on them. This notch can be prepared by the notch cutter. This area is banged afterwards for testing the impact on the specimen.
The testing machine is deisgned to evaluate the material’s tolerence level against free falling weight. The tester is equipped with a hammer shaped pendulum on which a particular amount of dead weight is fixed. This particular weight is specified as per testing standards and as per the product application. The hammer always rest on plunger so that the throw must have an angle of 150°.
Izod Charpy impact tester is very important testing machine in the plastic industry for estimating the impact tolerance level. The testing machine is utilized for evaluating the energy level required to break the notched sample. The plastic if tested can be categorized as per the impact value. It is not an easy task to manufacture a plastic material but why to commit a mistake by delivering the right plastic to a wrong place.
