Barrus P450 Pendulum Impact Tester For Charpy and Izod Metal Testing

Benefits

• Delivers consistent performance in measuring the toughness of metallic materials.
• High-precision pendulum bearing system minimises frictional losses.
• High-rigidity pendulum arm eliminates vibrations during swing.
• Fully compliant with ISO 148-1, ASTM E23, EN 10045-1, and JIS 2242 impact testing standards, ensuring your results are accepted worldwide and directly comparable to international benchmarks.
• Large, intuitive display provides real-time feedback of striker angle, impact energy, and toughness values, while allowing easy input of specimen information.
• Automated pendulum lock and electromagnetic release mechanism streamlines the testing process — simply press a button to raise and release the pendulum with precision.
• Hands-free operation improves test consistency but also keeps the operator out of harm’s way during the critical release moment.
• Accommodate a variety of materials and test requirements with interchangeable pendulums and fixtures.
• Supports impact energies of 150 J, 300 J, and 450 J using quick-change pendulum heads, so you can easily test both lower-toughness and high-toughness materials on the same machine.
• Accepts all standard Charpy specimen sizes (10×10 mm, as well as sub-size 7.5 mm and 5 mm thickness samples). Can also be configured for Izod testing, offering full versatility for different Izod and Charpy test specimens.
• Tester is in a fully enclosed protective cover that contains flying fragments and debris from broken specimens, ensuring the operator won’t get hit.
• Built-in interlock door system ensures the pendulum can only release when the chamber is closed — if the door is opened, the machine automatically locks out operation.
• Safety interlocks and sturdy enclosure protect testers and bystanders, allowing confident testing in any environment.
• Emergency stop functions and secure footing reinforce a safe testing experience.
• Robust construction means it can withstand heavy daily use.
• Calibration service available to ensure your impact tests continue to be accurate and efficient.
