Drop impact tester for impact toughness

Drop impact test - testing brittleness and impact resistance with precision
ZwickRoell drop impact testers and Charpy testers, available through ZRS Testing Systems, are used to determine the impact strength of metals and plastics according to current standards. These tests are critical to understanding how a material behaves under rapid loads and varying temperatures - such as collisions, impacts or other short-term loads.

The fracture behavior of materials changes with temperature, and therefore many materials need to be tested over their entire temperature range of use. By performing standardized impact tests, you can determine at what temperature the material becomes brittle, which is crucial in both design and safety assessment.

ZwickRoell impact testing solutions offer:
Equipment for Charpy, Izod and other impact tests according to ISO, ASTM etc.

Testing in both room temperature and controlled chilled or heated environments

Accurate energy absorption measurement for reliable and reproducible data

Automation capabilities for high sample throughput and reduced operator impact

Whether you work in quality control, development or certification, we offer the right solution for your needs - from manual systems to fully automated test cells.

ZRS supplies, installs, calibrates and services the full range of ZwickRoell impact testers - with a focus on accuracy, ease of use and long-term support.
