The Charpy impact test, also known as the Charpy V-notch test, is a standardized high strain-rate test which determines the amount of energy absorbed by a material during fracture. This absorbed energy is a measure of a given material’s notch toughness and acts as a tool to study temperature-dependent ductile-brittle transition. It is widely applied in industry, since it is easy to prepare and conduct and results can be obtained quickly and cheaply.
We conduct impact tests as per ASTM & ISO on calibrated Digital Charpy Impact Machine.
Our Charpy testing reports include:-
- Ambient and Low Temperature (up to -196°C) testing
- Testing Range up to 300 Joule
- Cryogenic testing capabilities
- Energy absorption characteristics
- Lateral Expansion
- Present Shear
We can also subject materials and products to dynamic Charpy impact, measuring cushioning, g-force and impact failure mechanisms. Our labs support quality design programs with accurate results and competitive turnaround times.
