Impact tester
March 1st 2006

An impact testing instrument has been introduced by Instron to measure energy absorption and related impact properties of polymers, metals, composites and final components.

The Dynatup 9250 drop tower features complete computer control, with impact velocities of up to 20m/s for rigorous testing in the fields of R&D and quality control.

The instrument captures, plots and analyses the entire impact event, enabling the user to determine characteristics such as incipient damage, ductile-to-brittle transition point, maximum load and total energy absorbed.

It can be used to test materials in extreme temperatures and harsh environments.
