Testing the impact resistance of plastics is crucial in various industries, including manufacturing lab testing instruments. Impact test machine helps to ensure the durability and reliability of plastic components when sudden impact forces will be stimulated in real-world conditions like stress or cracks. Thus, we at Presto being the leading manufacturer of lab testing instruments has designed high quality Impact Tester that works on the principle of the pendulum method. Impact Tester is a consistent tool to measure the impact resistance of materials under sudden falling force or impact. The test instrument covers two tests, namely.

  • Izod (horizontal impact on vertically clamped specimen)
  • Charpy (vertical impact on the horizontally placed specimen).
