This device is located in Mechanical Laboratory which is used to measure the absorbed energy during breaking the sample.

The following desription shows how the device works:


First, a sample is taken from a cylinder that has been heated.

Then the striker pendulum is set at the angle of 145 degree to hit the sample.

This test is done in standard dimension and temerature of about -50 degrees Celsius.

Then, according to the angle of the picky pendulum when it comes back, the amount of absorbed energy is calculated in Jules by using appropriate tables information.

By dividing obtained Jules number to the number of the cross section of the sample, the amount of impact strength in terms of J/Cm2 can be achieved.

The obtained numbers will be checked with requirements of ECER110 standard, and the final result will be sent to the Quality  Control department.
