Overview

The TestingGmbH PH-CHV Series is a high-energy motorized pendulum impact tester designed for determining the absorbed impact energy and fracture resistance of metals and structural alloys. Available in capacities from 150 J up to 900 J, the system features a rigid vibration-damping cast iron U-frame, automatic motorized pendulum return, electric electromagnetic release, and a full acrylic safety enclosure with interlocking doors. Complies with ISO 148-1, EN 10045-2, and ASTM E23.

Applications

Charpy V-notch and U-notch impact testing of structural steels
Izod impact testing of metals, polymers, and composites
Sub-sized specimen and cryogenic temperature impact testing
Ductile-to-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) curve determination
Quality control in steel mills, forges, automotive, and pipeline engineering

Key Features

Heavy cast iron U-frame providing maximum rigidity and minimal base vibration loss
Motorized pendulum lift with automatic re-arming after swing
High-resolution optical rotary encoder with digital energy resolution of 0.05 J
Safe two-hand operation or automated door-closed trigger for temperature-conditioned specimens
Complete safety enclosure with CE-compliant electrical safety interlock
Optional instrumented striker with ultra-high-speed data acquisition for force-deflection curves
