Drop Weight Tester – Falling Weight Impact Tester FIT-1000 Features

Drop Weight Tester – Falling Weight Impact Tester is made from high strength and rigidity steel and aluminum. The lower area fixes directly to the ground ensuring the impact force is absorbed by the ground and not the frame and body of the impact tester. The drop tower has adjustable feet to ensure its completely level. There is a small viewing window to enable the operator to see the movement of the impact hammers.

The FIT Drop Weight Tester – Falling Weight Impact Tester is manufactured in Spain by Metrotec and fully supported for sales, service and calibration by AML Instruments in the UK.

  • Touch screen control for ease of use and set up.
  • Drop heights from 0 to 1000mm
  • Base supports for tube from 12mm to 110mm diameter (specify at time of order)
  • Interlocked safety door to ensure the impact tester can’t operate while its open.
  • Impact hammers are raised to drop height by electromechanical drive mechanism
  • Guided impact hammer support
  • Hammer held at drop height by electromagnet
  • Optional module for measurement of the impact hammer speed in meters per second
