Best Cheap and Precision Impact Resistance Measurement Instruments ASTM D1709

FBT-01S Falling Ball Impact Tester 

Background

Impact resistance plays an important role in the performance of material subjected to regular shocking load or impact load. As this kind of load may cause rupture, cracking or deformation. There are various test procedures to evaluate the impact resistance of a material, such as dart impact, ball impact, pendulum impact, izod, charpy, tensile, etc.

Application

Falling ball impact tester measures the resistance performance of plates, sheets, and composites, films foils, paper etc. with less than 2mm thickness. By impact test, the material ability to resist external destruction can be indicated. User observes the destruction status of the test specimen after it has been hit by a falling weight that fell from a given testing height.

Test Method

A steel ball of known mass and diameter is released from a predetermined height, creating a controlled impact force on the test specimen (film or plastic sheet).

The impact energy and the resulting damage or deformation are measured and analyzed to assess the material's impact resistance.

Factors Influence Result

1. Drop Height: The height from which the steel ball is dropped is a critical parameter that can be adjusted to simulate different impact scenarios.

2. Ball Size and Mass: The size and mass of the steel ball are selected based on the specific testing standards or application requirements.

Technical Features

FBT-01S is an economic version of ball impact tester, without complicate control and system. It also uses electromagnetic suspension and release, and is equipped with two foot switches too. Sample pneumatic clamping is also the same type and test area as FBT-01.

Key Features: 

1. Adjustable Impact Height and Various Balls cater to diverse testing scenarios.

2. Electromagnetic Suspension: Employing electromagnetic suspension ensures a controlled and consistent release of the impact ball.

3. Reliable Pneumatic Sample Clamping guarantees that test specimens remain firmly in place throughout testing.

4. User-Friendly Operation: The tester is equipped with two foot switches, simplifying the testing process and enhancing usability.
