Are you facing frequent rejection of your plastic, polymer plastic films? Then look nowhere, because we bring to you a solution- The Dart impact tester.
The Impact Test machine is essential for determining the impact resistance of plastic materials, and polymer products. The Dart Impact Tester is specifically designed for this purpose, following standards like ASTM D1709 and ISO 7765. This test is conducted to measure the energy required to break or puncture plastic films accurately.
How the Dart Impact Tester Operates
1. Preparing the Specimen:
-
The material to be tested is cut to a specified size. As per standards, this size should be more than 127mm i.e. more than the diameter of the clamp.
-
A dart of a specific weight and diameter must be selected as per the standards and requirements.
2. Conducting the Test:
-
The dart is positioned at a predetermined height, which can be adjusted to meet various testing requirements.
-
The dart is released to free-fall and strike the material.
-
The material’s response to the impact is observed. If the material fails, the height or weight of the dart is adjusted for subsequent tests.
3. Recording and Analyzing Results:
-
The results are recorded and analyzed to calculate the material's impact resistance, typically expressed in energy units (Joules).
The new Prima series of the impact tester features an HMI-based touchscreen display with a tilted panel for better visualization and an integrated pass/fail criteria system.
Applications of the Dart Impact Tester
The impact test machine ensures that plastic films and sheets can withstand impacts during transportation and storage without compromising the integrity of the packaged goods. Therefore it plays a crucial role in the packaging industry. Its utility can further be seen in the construction industry and even the Automotive industry. This is simply because the impact tester helps to evaluate the performance of plastic components. Such a measurement is necessary to meet safety and quality standards.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Dart Impact Tester
Q: Where can I get support or service for my Dart Impact Tester?
A: Support and service for your Dart Impact Tester can be obtained from professional service teams of the manufacturers. In the industry currently, testing instruments are quite known for their service support.
Q: How do I prepare the sample for testing?
A: To prepare a specimen, cut the material to a specified size. The size as per standards should be more than 127mm i.e. more than the diameter of the clamp. Then mount it securely on the testing apparatus, and select a dart of the appropriate weight and diameter according to the relevant standards.
Q: How can I ensure accurate test results?
A: Ensure that the specimen is prepared correctly, the dart is of the appropriate size, weight, and the height is accurately set. Periodic calibration is also suggested to achieve accuracy.
