Impact Testing Machine
Product Code : LSK-CL-10595
Impact Testing Machine (SKU LSK-CL-10595) is a pendulum impact tester for both Charpy and Izod tests. The pendulum is released from a set height, breaks the specimen and swings on, and the energy absorbed is read from a maximum pointer on a dial scale. It is used in strength-of-materials practicals in engineering colleges and polytechnics. Institutions, tender contractors and distributors can have it quoted by Science Lab Supplies and sent from Ambala, India.
Specifications
Pendulum, latch, striker and dial details for the Charpy/Izod tester are each tabulated. In short, the pendulum runs on antifriction bearings with an upper Charpy and a lower Izod starting position, rests on a self-resetting latch released only by its lever, and takes two strikers and one combined support.

Applications and Experiments for the Impact Testing Machine
The machine is used to measure the impact energy a specimen absorbs when broken by a swinging pendulum, a basic indicator of toughness. It is a standard strength-of-materials practical in mechanical and civil engineering degrees and diplomas, and in materials-testing modules at technical training institutes.
- B.Tech / B.E. mechanical and civil engineering: Charpy and Izod tests, compared with the encoder-based Energy Absorbed At Fracture bench tester.
- Diploma mechanical engineering: comparing toughness with hardness results from the Rockwell Hardness Tester.
- Relating absorbed energy to the drop and rise of the pendulum.
- TVET materials-testing courses: supervised impact testing.
The swinging pendulum can cause injury, so keep the swing path clear and operate the machine only under supervision.
Standard Scope of Supply
The machine is supplied with its pendulum on antifriction bearings, lever-operated release and self-resetting latch, dial scale with maximum pointer, two strikers and one combined support for Izod and Charpy testing. Test specimens are not included and are prepared by the laboratory or quoted on request.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Request a quotation for one machine or several for a materials lab; it will list the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. A compression machine or other testing equipment from this range can be priced on the same document when planning vocational training equipment.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Malaysia. Specimen-related questions and quantities can go through the contact page, the machine can be added to the enquiry cart with other testing equipment, and the lab tender page sets out how tender purchases are handled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the machine run both Charpy and Izod tests?
Yes. The pendulum has two starting positions, the upper one for Charpy and the lower one for Izod, and two strikers with one combined support are provided for the two methods.
How is the impact energy read?
After the specimen breaks, the maximum pointer on the dial scale gives the reading, based on the difference between the pendulum's height of drop and height of rise.
How is accidental release prevented?
The pendulum rests on a self-resetting latch in its starting position, and the release latch works only when the release lever is operated, so a swing starts only when the operator deliberately pulls the lever.
Who supplies the Impact Testing Machine?
Science Lab Supplies supplies this pendulum tester from Ambala, India. Engineering colleges and institutes can ask for a quotation themselves, and tender contractors and distributors serving those institutions are quoted in the same item-wise format.
