BYK-Gard­ner ISO Impact Tester

Used for test­ing impact resis­tance of coat­ings on metal sub­s­trates. In accor­dance with ISO stan­dard, the test panel is fixed on the die using a clamp­ing device, so that the panel sur­face out­side the test area is not affected by the rapid defor­ma­tion caused by the falling weight.

• Anodized guide tube with a scale in inches and mm
• Tol­er­ance for ISO falling weights ± 1 g
• Max­i­mum falling weight 2 kg
• Exchange­able falling weights and dies
• Can be eas­ily con­verted for test­ing in accor­dance with ASTM

Impact Tester

The impact tester con­sists of a solid base stand with a guide tube sup­port. The guide tube has a slot that directs a cylin­dri­cal weight that  slides up and down with the use of a col­lar that fits into the weight. Gra­d­u­a­tions are marked along the slot to facil­i­tate read­ing where the weight is dropped. The base of the instru­ment includes a die sup­port. The weights have built-in steel balls that pro­vide dif­fer­ent geo­met­ri­cal con­fig­u­ra­tions. It is impor­tant that the ball diam­e­ter fits into the die to pre­vent shear­ing the test sam­ples at the inner rim of the die. In order to limit the inden­ta­tion depth of the falling weight, dis­tance rings of dif­fer­ent thick­ness can be fitted. Also, dif­fer­ent weights can be used.
