ASTM E208 Drop Weight Test for Nil-Ductility Temperature of Ferritic Steel

ASTM E208 Drop Weight Test for Nil-Ductility Temperature of Ferritic Steel — To determine the temperature when the fracture mode of steel changes from ductile to brittle, or the NDT temperature, follow the ASTM E208 drop weight test

Charpy Impact Testing Sub-Size Specimens to ASTM E23, A370 and ISO 148-1

Charpy Impact Testing Sub-Size Specimens to ASTM E23, A370 and ISO 148-1 — ASTM E23, A370, and ISO 148-1 cover Charpy impact testing of notched-bar metallic specimens. Size limitations of the product needing tested or standard size specimens exceeding 80% of the capacity of the tester require the ability to test sub-size specimens.

High Capacity Tensile Impact Testing

High Capacity Tensile Impact Testing — The 9450 machine with a high energy system can tensile impact test at high capacity to determine how materials will act when faced with a real impact event.

High Strain Rate Testing

High Strain Rate Testing — Instron's servohydraulic VHS systems are able to test materials that will be used in automobiles and subjected to high rates of strain and loading.

Impact Performance of Polycrystalline Diamond Cutters

Impact Performance of Polycrystalline Diamond Cutters — Impact testers are used by drilling companies to test drill bits made by diamonds and other hard materials to drill quickly and effectively.

Impact Tests On Orthopedic Implants

Impact Tests On Orthopedic Implants — A CEAST 9350 can test the impact resistance of orthopedic implants that help with the medical condition Osteoarthris by increasing joint movements.
