Impact Testers

Tinius Olsen manufactures several high-capacity pendulum impact testers, most of which can be easily changed from a Charpy configuration to an Izod configuration, or even to a tensile impact configuration. These impact testers come in several capacities and are designed primarily for determining the impact resistance of metals and are designed to fully comply with the specifications outlined in ASTM E23, BS EN ISO 148-3, BS EN ISO 148-2 and ISO 442.

In addition to the high energy impact, Tinius Olsen manufactures a range of different low energy pendulum impact testers that can be easily changed from a Charpy configuration to an Izod configuration. These impact testers come in a couple of capacities and are designed primarily for either plastics or metal impact testing.
