Impact Testing Machines

Charpy and Izod pendulum impact testers: mechanical, digital and fully automatic

Impact Testing Machines · Canan Testing

Pioneers in the industry, we offer impact testing machines for conducting Izod and Charpy tests as per Indian and international standards such as IS 3766, BS EN ISO 148, ASTM E23 and BS 131. We provide mechanical, digital and computerised impact testing machines, FIE impact testing machines, cooling chambers, notch broaching machines and NABL calibration of impact testers.

An impact test measures the energy a notched specimen absorbs when struck by a pendulum, which shows how tough or brittle the material is, especially at low temperatures. It is mandatory for many steels used in pressure vessels, pipelines, structures and welds.

Impact Testing Machine

The IT 30 and IT 40 series pendulum impact testing machines perform Charpy and Izod tests to ISO standards, with ASTM versions for Charpy testing to ASTM.

Automatic Impact Testing Machine

Auto Impact machines automate the full impact test: the specimen is loaded, the pendulum is released and returned to its home position, and the result is recorded with minimal operator handling.

Broaching Machine

Pro Broach (manual) and Pro Broach + (motorised) are self-contained, floor-mounted broaching machines that cut Charpy and Izod V and U notches in standard impact specimens in a single pass, giving consistent notch geometry for reliable impact results..

Micro Notch Measuring Machine

The Micro Notch measuring machine checks the geometry of U and V notches on impact specimens with a two-view optical system and PC software, at a resolution of up to 3 microns.

CRM Impact Specimens (ISO & ASTM)

CRM impact specimens are certified Charpy V-notch reference specimens supplied with a certificate: ISO specimens from Diamond Tools and ASTM specimens from NIST.

About Impact Testing Machines

An impact testing machine measures the toughness of a material: a pendulum strikes a notched specimen in a single blow and the energy absorbed in breaking it is recorded in joules. Charpy and Izod tests reveal whether a steel stays tough or turns brittle, especially at low temperatures, which is why they are mandatory for many pressure-vessel, pipeline, structural and weld applications.

A complete set-up includes the pendulum tester, notch preparation (broaching), notch verification, low-temperature conditioning where required, and periodic verification with certified reference specimens.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an impact testing machine?

It is a pendulum machine that breaks a notched specimen in a single blow and measures the energy absorbed, which indicates the toughness of the material.

What is the difference between Charpy and Izod tests?

In the Charpy test the specimen is supported at both ends and struck in the middle behind the notch. In the Izod test the specimen is clamped vertically as a cantilever and struck on the notch side. Charpy is more common for metals and low-temperature testing.

What capacity impact tester do I need?

300 J is standard for most steels. High-toughness steels may need higher capacity, such as the Auto Impact 75.

How are impact testers verified?

Directly, by checking the machine geometry and pendulum, and indirectly with certified reference specimens (CRM) as per ISO 148-2 and ASTM E23.
