The Charpy impact and Izod tests are standardized material tests. The specimen is broken by the impact of a heavy pendulum hammer. Tests are performed according to ASTM D256, ASTM A327, and ASTM A370, measuring the energy absorbed by a material specimen, indicating the material’s level of toughness. We can perform the tests on any material and at any temperature specified by the client.
