Impact Testing - Pendulum
A pendulum tester measures the impact resistance of samples in various standard test configurations.
A test system consists of:
- A swinging hammer (pendulum)
- A rigid frame to support the hammer
- An angular measurement system to measure absorbed energy
- A test fixture to hold the specimen
Optional Items include:
- An integrated or external environmental chamber
- Instrumented hammer
