ART-DDi20 Falling Dart Drop Tester

ART-DDi20 Falling Dart Drop Tester

This dart drop impact tester provides an advanced method for testing impact resistance, over the DDi10 model. It’s integrated with a dedicated microprocessor and 7” touch screen interface, while test results and sample batches are simple to calculate and report.

Compliant with methods A & B of the ASTM D1709 and ISO 7765 testing standards, the dart drop tester is multi-voltage and designed to be bench mounted at a 660mm drop height. However, it 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.

Benefits

  • Test setup is entered and stored for future use.
  • Test results are automatically displayed on the touch screen display which can be downloaded into the dedicated LABLogic+ software platform (supplied with the instrument).
  • Test specimens are securely clamped in the two piece pneumatic clamp system, ensuring test repeatability without slippage of the sample.
  • Standard dart drop heights of 660mm or 1500mm (optional extension kit required) fulfil the test requirement and can be easily set up.
  • Two handed operation to ensure optimum operator safety.
  • Electro magnet dart release.
  • Dart rebound guard is supplied to ensure the operator safety from rebounding darts.
  • UKCA/CE declaration.
  • Warranty – 1 year return to base.
  • 110v-240v AC, 50-60 Hz.
  • Product user manual.

How does the ART-DDi20 Perform The Dart Drop Test?

Predominantly used in the flexible packaging industry, the ART-DDi20 provides a sophisticated 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.

  • Dimensions: 44cm x 54cm x 120cm
  • Weight: 35kg

Options

  • Method B extension kit – includes 50.8mm (2.0″) dart & weight set.
  • Addition test weights methods A & B.
