Remarks / Special Instructions (if any):

Description : Conventional impact test machines are used for estimating the notch toughness of materials, which in turn is used as the material screening criteria in manufacturing industries. The instrumented impact test machines are a special variety,in which, apart from the conventional notch toughness, the system would capture the load and displacement data within few milliseconds of the hammer contact with the specimen. This data can be used to determine the dynamic fracture resistance of the material such KID and the ductile to britlle transition temperature (DBTT) of metals and alloys. The system is equipped with a temperature bath in the range of +150° C to -80°C. Dynamic fracture characterization of materials in awide spectrum of temperature is therefore possible. The system is calibrated with NIST (National Institute of Standards and Testing-USA) standard reference specimens.
