The Charpy notched impact test is a common method to test how tough plastics are when suddenly subjected to stress. GWP we carry out this accredited examination This allows us to examine the properties of materials in detail and find out which applications they are suitable for.
What is the Charpy impact test?
In this test we work with notched and unnotched test specimensFor the notched samples we measure the Charpy impact strength (acN), while in the unnotched samples we have the Charpy impact strength (acU) The tests are carried out in a three-point supportthat simulates realistic loads.
Fields of application
- Plastics industry: Here we check whether plastics are suitable for safety-relevant applications.
- Automotive industry: We test parts and components for their impact resistance and toughness.
- Research and Development: We investigate new materials and their behavior under pressure.
Calculation of notch sensitivity
We can notch sensitivity of a material by calculating the impact strength and the impact strength This calculation helps us to better understand and evaluate the properties of the material.
Advantages of the Charpy impact test
- Reliability: The test provides precise results on the toughness of materials that are important for safety-relevant applications.
- Standardized: Our tests comply with the requirements of DIN EN ISO 179, which guarantees high quality.
- Accredited: Our tests are accredited and meet the highest standards in material testing.
With our accredited Charpy impact test according to DIN EN ISO 179 we ensure that your plastics have the necessary properties and meet the requirements of the industry.
