An instrument for the study of impact on films, and laminates, using the guided falling weight technique.
The maximum energy available for testing is 21 J.
Can be equipped with instrumented strikers and DAS 16000 or DAS Junior.
The wide range of darts available covers ISO, ASTM, BS, NF and other standards.

CEAST is proposing a wide range of instruments designed to determine the mechanical and physical properties of polymers, composites and finished products for both research and development (R&D) and quality control (QC). The pendulum family was designed in order to perform Charpy, Izod and Tensile impact testing on material specimens according to international standards. It’s possible to choose between not instrumented testing, for the calculation of the resilience, and instrumented testing thus allowing a more complete investigation on the properties of the material which can show a brittle or a ductile behaviour also depending on the test conditions (i.e. temperature).

Furthermore CEAST is proposing a new advanced high energy falling weight instrument suitable for testing on standard specimens and finished products with maximum impact energy up to 1800 J and maximum impact speed up to 24 m/s. CEAST is also proposing other instruments for testing on pipes, for creep and fatigue evaluations.
