Pendulum specifically designed to carry out tear tests on plastic films or similar substrates.
The stated potential energy is reached using a sector with variable weights.
The instrument is controlled by a microprocessor.
A display shows the test result of the force in mN and N.
Force intervals available between 4000 mN to 64000 mN, and 50 N to 100 N.
PC and printer connection via RS232 port.
Meets ISO, ASTM, DIN, BS 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.
