ART-DDi10 Falling Dart Drop Tester
Manufactured by Artemis Instruments
This dart drop impact tester is ideal for laboratories that require simple testing to the ISO and ASTM test standards for the flexible packaging industry.
It has a 660mm drop height as standard, with the methods of holding the test specimen and releasing the dart designed so they may be accurately repeated for each test performed.
The dart drop tester is multi-voltage and designed to be bench mounted at a 660mm drop height, but can be easily placed on a floor if the 1.5m drop height test is required and you have limited ceiling height.
It’s supplied as standard with an aluminium dart with a 38.1mm (1 1/2″) spherical radius tup and a set of binary weights for testing up to 2kg in drop mass. Additional weights can be supplied if required.
The instrument provides a basic method for determining the energy that causes plastic film or other flexible materials (usually no greater than 0.25mm) to fail under impact from a free falling dart. The energy required to tear or puncture the test specimen is expressed in terms of the darts weight (mass) which would result in the failure of 50% of specimens being tested.
