Artemis universal pendulum impact tester with enclosed pendulum and specimen test area, used to measure material resistance to impact during controlled impact testing.

Universal Pendulum Impact Tester

Manufactured by Artemis Instruments

Made in Britain logo featuring a red and blue Union Jack design with grey lettering.

This Universal Pendulum Impact Tester has multi-method capabilities, supporting Charpy, Izod, and Tensile Impact Testing, as well as specialised component testing (e.g., small pipe sections).

It represents the next generation in materials characterisation, providing the precise energy measurements required to evaluate the fracture toughness of ceramics, composites, non-ferrous metals, and plastics.

The versatile pendulum system provides up to 50J testing energies, with adjustable impact velocities up to 3.8 m/s that meet all major international protocols.

Benefits

  • Engineered in strict accordance with ISO 13802 for both high-throughput production environments and rigorous laboratory analysis.
  • Delivers repeatable, high-fidelity data required for critical industries like aerospace.
  • High-resolution metrology — A 1k PPR optical rotary encoder measures the precise angle of rise, automatically compensating for friction and windage to ensure accurate energy calculation in kJ/m, kJ/m2, or ft-lbs/in.
  • Versatile pendulum system — Highly accurate, single-piece pendulums with capacities up to 50J, secured by an electromagnetic release system.
  • Microprocessor controlled.
  • 7” touchscreen interface serves as the command centre for your testing workflow.
  • Guided on-screen instructions minimise operator error.
  • Comprehensive data tracking — Store operator profiles, material references, and batch codes for instant recall.
  • LABLogic+ software included, which generates detailed reports featuring real-time batch statistics (Mean, Standard Deviation, and Coefficient of Variation).
  • Graphical and tabular results and statistical analysis.
  • Ethernet, USB, and flash drive connection.
  • Failure analysis — Clearly identify and document break types, including Full, Partial, Hinged, or Non-break failures.
  • Conforms to ASTM and ISO testing methods ASTM D256 and 6110, ISO 179 and 180, ISO 8256 method A (specimen in bed).
  • Test results units in KJ/M, KJ/M², and FT/LBs force.
  • Self-calibrating for frictional losses and windage.
  • Fully interlocked enclosure and two button pendulum release for operator safety.
  • Electromagnetic pendulum brake.
  • Fully traceable certificate of calibration and instrument user manual.
  • UKCA/CE certified.
  • Universal power: Multi-voltage (110-240v, 50/60 Hz) compatibility for seamless global deployment.
  • Manufactured in the UK.
