Simplest and Easily Operated
Smooth Testing ExperienceThe lift-up angle of the hammer after impact is automatically measured, and the impact energy is calculated. Operation methods can be selected from touchscreen control (Model No.258-D) or PC control (Model No.258-PC).
The No.258-D model was updated with new software in 2024, significantly improving operability and user experience. -
Safety Cover Specifications
Full-Cover SpecificationThe testing area can be completely enclosed with a safety cover, ensuring both the hammer does not come into contact with the operator and preventing test sample scatter. Hammer release and other operations can be performed via the touchscreen.

Input Tools for Increased Efficiency
We offer three types of input tools that simplify sample dimension measurement. These tools significantly reduce measurement time and improve testing efficiency.

The characteristics of the Charpy hammers differ between the test standards as shown in the table above. In ISO and JIS standards, the hammer length changes according to the impact velocity. Therefore, the same hammer cannot be used to create, for example, a 4 J impact and 7.5 J impact. Two different hammers must be prepared.

Standard | Potential Energy | Impact Velocity | Radius of Striking Edge |
---|---|---|---|
ISO/ JIS |
1J | 3.5m/s(±10%) | 0.8±0.2mm |

ASTM | 2.7-21.7J | 3.46m/s(3.5m/s) | 0.8±0.2mm |
The same hammer is sometimes used between ISO (or JIS) and ASTM impact tests as the details of the hammers specified in the two standards are similar. However, to be precise, the shape of the striking edge differs between the standards as shown in the above image. Therefore, to conform to the test standards, hammers that match the test standard shall be used.

The shape of the anvil differs between ISO (or JIS) and ASTM standards. Therefore, to perform both ISO and ASTM standardized tests, two different anvils shall be prepared.

Symbol | Parameter | ISO/JIS | ASTM |
---|---|---|---|
ー | Sample angle | 90±2 ° | ー |
ー | Parallelism with face of reference sample | ±0.025 mm | ー |

In strict terms the anvil shapes differ between ISO (JIS) and ASTM standards, but are sometimes used mutually as the differences are minor.
