Impact Testing
API – Advanced Pendulum impact tester The API determines the impact strength of standardtension-impact speci-mens. This high-precision instrument measures the performance of plastics
and composites according to ASTM and ISO test methods for Izod, Charpy
and Tensile Impact. The automatic break prevents secondary strike impactsand allows variable starting angles to ensure optimal impact velocity.Siemens-based PLC SUPPLIER and operator interface used for all calibration and test
functions. •
