Product Description
SV Tech offers Impact Testing facilities in compliance with both ISO and American Standards (ASTM).
We conduct Izod and Charpy Impact Tests using IS, BS, and ISO-certified machines to evaluate a material's ability to absorb energy under sudden impact conditions. In certain cases, ductile materials may exhibit brittle failure, which is characterized by low energy absorption. The key factors contributing to such failures include:
- A tri-axial state of stress
- Low temperatures
- High strain rate or rapid loading
The Charpy Impact Test is widely used in the United States, while the Izod Impact Test is more common in Great Britain. Both testing methods follow standardized procedures as per ASTM E 23, ensuring accurate assessment of material toughness and resistance to impact failure.
