How an Izod Impact Tester Improves Material Quality Control
The Izod impact test by Izod Impact Testing Equipment is a measure of the energy absorbed by a suddenly struck specimen. In a typical test, a notched specimen is mounted vertically and struck by a pendulum.
The energy absorbed in breaking is a measure of the impact resistance of the material. The test can be applied to different materials and is especially helpful when evaluating the performance of samples or material formulations.
