determine the resistance to external blows of thermoplastic pipes and polymer test samples and components

Product DescriptionRay-Ran's Falling Weight Impact Tester is specially designed to determine the resistance to external blows of thermoplastic pipes and polymer test samples and components. The apparatus conforms to the ISO3127, BS EN744 and EN 1411 test standards."Round the Clock Method" Lengths of pipe from a batch or production run are subjected to blows from a known mass which falls from a specified height. Test standard ISO 3127 & EN744."Staircase Method" Lengths of pipe are subjected to blows from a known mass and shape but is dropped from differing heights depending on the results of each blow. Test standard EN1411.By changing the Supports and clamping mechanisms, along with the shape of the Tup, and variable weights tests to other standards such as ASTM D5628, D5420, D3029, D2444 can be carried out. Standard features includeVariable drop height of tup (striker) - up to 2 metres, Variable impact velocity range - up to 6.264 m/s, Maximum impact energy - 196 Joules, Solenoid released load carrier, Load carrier raised and latched by pneumatically operated cylinder, Base to accept pipe diameters to 400mm,"V" support for round pipes, Product user manual, CE mark of conformity, 1 year return to base warrantyOptional accessories availableSmaller & larger drop heights available, Larger bases to accept larger pipe diameters, Tup (Striker) shapes to customers requirements, Load carriers to customer's requirements, Optional weight sets available, Low Temperature Chambers, Tups to Customers specifications.

Test DescriptionImpact Resistance by Falling Weight.The impact energy is calculated from the drop height and drop weight, as follows :Impact Energy=drop weight(kg) * drop height (m) * gg= acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s/s
