Product Information Drop Weight Tester HIT230F for tests on plastics The drop weight tester HIT230F has been developed in close cooperation with our customers. This has allowed the requirements of both research and development and quality assurance to be fulfilled. It is designed for the performance of multiaxial impact tests on plastics. The range of applications includes material characterisation of standard specimens, established Standards of research and development. PI 682 2.0712 Advantages/Characteristics • Simple and safe operation • Good accessibililty to the test area • Flexible design with simple interchanging of test accessories • Intelligent protection system – operation of a safety door is not necessary to place a specimen in the tester • Innovative specimen clamping system enables fast and simple gripping of the specimen • Testing in a wide temperature range is possible without installing an expensive temperature chamber in the test frame • Inexpensive, external temperature conditioning and/ or existing equipment can be used • The innovative design of the entire force measurement chain leads to a low noise measurement data. This allows a reliable determination of the materials characteristics to be achieved from the force-deformation curve • High specimen throughput due to ergonomic specimen clamping and protective unit. • Automatic lifting of the drop weight with stepless adjustment of the height from 0.1 m to 1 m • High test data acquisition rate (4 MHz) with simultaneous high resolution (16 bit)
