Charpy Impact Testing Machine

The pendulum is dropped from a specific height to put an impact on a notched sample. The notch used in the test must be of regular dimensions as it has a great impact on the test results. The size of the samples also has a great impact on the test results hence it is essential to choose standard sizes of the specimen. With the help of the Charpy Impact Test, one can easily analyze the strength of material. The quantitative results of the test give the understanding of the amount of force that a material can absorb when it reaches the point of fracture or failure. The qualitative results of the test procedure can provide information about the ductility of the materials being tested.
