Low-Temperature Testing
Two Types of Low-Temperature Impact TestersImpact testing can also be performed in low-temperature environments. The No.258-L allows testing between -35℃ to 60℃, while the No.258-UTL supports testing as low as-50℃ to 60℃. Please select the model that suits your desired testing temperature.

Touchscreen Operation
Basic Operation and Result Registration AvailableBasic operations are performed using the touchscreen. After the test, the impact value is automatically calculated based on the hammer lift-up angle.
The test results can also be checked in the test results screen. -
Accurate Testing
Testing Inside the Low-Temperature ChamberImpact testing is performed inside the low-temperature chamber, ensuring accurate testing conditions without any change in the test environment. Testing inside the chamber also prevents sample scatter, making sample collection easier.

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 |
2.75J | |||
5.5J | |||

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 |

In strict terms the anvil shapes differ between ISO (JIS) and ASTM standards, but are sometimes used mutually as the differences are minor.
Send measured dimensions to the main unit at the press of a button, reducing the time and effort required to input dimensions manually.
*Compatible with No.258-D and No.258-L.
Add weights to the hammer to support two capacities.
By pressing a button, the hammer can be stopped with the brake engaged. This ensures safe hammer stoppage after impact without the risk of hand contact.
Print test results quickly and efficiently.
