12. Types of impact testing
Hounsfield
balanced
Drop Weight
Tear Test
CHARPY V-notch Izod
13. Charpy V-Notch
Test
The Charpy V-Notch test involves striking a notched
specimen with a pendulum hammer. The specimen is
clamped in a horizontal position, and the pendulum is
released to swing down and strike the specimen at
the notched area. The amount of energy absorbed by
the specimen during the impact is measured, which
indicates its resistance to fracture. The results of the
Charpy V-Notch test are typically reported as the
energy absorbed in joules (J).

16. IZOD Test
The Izod test is similar to the Charpy V-Notch test but
differs in the orientation of the specimen and the
location of the notch. In the Izod test, the
specimen is clamped in a vertical position, and the
pendulum strikes the specimen at the unnotched
side. The energy absorbed by the specimen is
measured, indicating its resistance to fracture.
The results of the Izod test are also reported as the
energy absorbed in joules (J).

18. Hounsfield
balanced test
The Hounsfield Balanced Impact Machine (HBIM)
strikes a specimen, held in place with a spring
forced wedge to secure the steel, with its
pendulum arms; allowing energy to transfer to the
specimen and causing failure. It can transfer a
maximum of 65Nm.
19. This test method is that the
hammer striker with weights
is raised to a specific height
then released. Free drop
hammer impacts and tears the
specimen
