  1. Instrumented Impact Testing

    Instrumented Impact Testing

    Impact testing today constitutes an important end product and fit for purpose test. Following manufacture many products will experience some form of service impact specific to their environment, it is the aim of the impact tester to replicate these service impacts in order to assess their fitness for purpose. The system can be used for:

    • Polymers
    • Polymer composites
    • Metals
    • Ceramics

    Our Rosand IFW413 instrumented falling weight impact tester has features including:

    • Tower Height: 1.3m
    • Maximum available impact velocity: 5m/s
    • Energy Range: 0.05 to 200J
    • Force range: 10 to 50,000N
    • Data acquisition: 12bit resolution, 670ksamples/s, 4000 data points
    • Temperature controlled environment

    Polymer Impact Testing
    Impact testing today constitutes an important end product and fit for purpose test. Following manufacture, many products will experience some form of service impact specific to their environment, it is the aim of the impact tester to replicate these service impacts in order to assess their fitness for purpose. Impact testing is generally governed by standards which cater for a wide range of materials. One of the most well known standards is ISO6603-part 2 which covers instrumented impact, our area of expertise. Non-standard testing can also be accomodated for sub-assemblies provided the requisite jigs are used.
