Drop Weight Impact Testor |
Purpose
This procedure determines the weight, height and energy at which a
sample fails when it is impacted with a free-falling weight according to
ASTM D3029-F.
Description
A drop weight impact tester is used to drop a weighted dart onto a
specimen that has been clamped into a flat position. The dart weight is
increased or decreased incrementally until at least half of the samples
tested fail. Each sample is tested only once. The drop height may also
be adjusted to increase the dart velocity upon impact.
