300 Joule Impact Testing Machine

300 Joule Impact Testing Machine – Advanced Energy Measurement for Charpy & Izod Tests

When testing medium-strength metals, precision and repeatability are essential. The 300 Joule Impact Testing Machine from Universal Grip is built for ASTM E23 and ASTM A370-compliant Charpy and Izod impact tests, ensuring accurate toughness evaluation of materials such as structural steels, ductile iron, and industrial alloys. This system delivers reliable energy absorption data, helping manufacturers and researchers assess material durability and fracture resistance under dynamic loading conditions.

Accurate Testing for Medium-Strength Materials

The 300J impact tester is equipped with a high-precision hammer and sensor system, designed to measure the impact energy required to fracture a notched specimen. It provides insight into how materials behave under sudden force, which is crucial for industries that rely on structural integrity and safety compliance.

• Charpy tests: The specimen is placed horizontally on two supports while the pendulum strikes at the center.

• Izod tests: The specimen is positioned vertically, with impact occurring at the upper section.

Both methods help determine material toughness, allowing engineers to make informed decisions in manufacturing, construction, and quality assurance.

Designed for Safety and Operator Convenience

Ensuring a secure testing environment is a priority, which is why the 300J machine integrates features that enhance both operator safety and efficiency:

🔹 Full protective enclosure with transparent Lexan panels for test monitoring
🔹 Pendulum safety lock, preventing unintended release during specimen setup
🔹 Automated hammer return, eliminating the need for manual lifting
🔹 Optional cooling bath system, essential for subzero impact testing when required by NIST certification

Versatile and Scalable for Various Testing Needs

This 300J impact tester bridges the gap between low-energy and high-energy material testing, making it a flexible choice for labs and production environments. For higher-energy applications, Universal Grip also offers 450J and 750J impact testing systems.
