Product catalog summary
Pendulum Impact Tester PSd 450 Overview
The Pendulum Impact Tester PSd 450 is designed for conducting Charpy impact tests on metals, Izod impact bending tests, and optionally impact tensile tests or Brugger-based tests. It offers a choice between a 150 J or 300 J pendulum hammer, with the possibility to upgrade to 450 J by adding side plates.

Applications
The tester complies with DIN EN ISO 148, part 2, and is suitable for notched-bar impact tests on steel and other metals according to various standards including DIN EN ISO 148, DIN 50 115, ISO 83, GOST 9454-78, GOST 10708, and ASTM E23. It can also perform Izod tests, Brugger tests, impact tensile tests, and wedge impact tests.

Components
  • Basic Unit PSd 450: Features a rigid machine column, electromechanical pendulum elevation and brake, digital performance indication, and connectivity via Ethernet or USB.
  • Safety Enclosure: Includes a safety door compliant with EN ISO 13489-1, preventing pendulum operation when open.
  • Pendulum Hammer 300 Joule: Comprises a U-shaped hammer with adjustable drop angle and impact velocity, ensuring correct mounting.
  • Support Based on Charpy: Includes exchangeable abutments for Charpy and Izod tests, with specific dimensions and angles.

Accessories
  • Upgrade to 450 Joule: Additional masses can upgrade the 300 J hammer to 450 J.
  • Automatic Centring Device: Facilitates automatic centring of notched specimens.
  • Spring Loaded Stopper: Useful for specimens at specific temperatures, allowing quick centring.
  • Key-Switch for Door Handling: Deactivates two-hand operation, triggering the hammer upon door closure.
  • Izod Test Accessories: Equipment for ASTM E23 compliant tests.
  • Tension Impact Test Accessories: Includes impact fork and support for clamping test specimens.

Pendulum Impact Testers The pendulum impact tester allows performing Charpy impact tests on metals, Izod impact bending tests and, at customer’s request, also impact tensile tests or tests based on Brugger. You have the choice of implementing a pendulum hammer with 150 J or 300 J energy. By adding side plates to the 300 J hammer, the energy can be increased up to 450 J as well. Application According to the technical conditions of standard DIN EN ISO 148, part 2 • Notched-bar impact tests based on Charpy on steel and other metals acc. to DIN EN ISO 148, DIN 50 115, ISO 83, GOST 9454-78, GOST 10708...

Pendulum Impact Testers 2. Safety enclosure The pendulum impact tester is equipped with a complete safety enclosure with safety door according to EN ISO 13489-1. The safety enclosure surrounding the swinging area of the pendulum meets all technical safety requirements. It is impossible to trigger the pendulum when the door is open. After triggering the pendulum and opening the door, the pendulum hammer is stopped immediately. The sides are swivel-mounted. Dismantling when calibrating or repairing the device is not necessary. Thus, a simple handling for the user is guaranteed. After inserting...
