Description
PW-PW-IR300J Instrumented Drop Hammer Impact Tester for Metallic and Non-Metallic Pipes and Plates
Overview (Equipment Model: PW-IR300J)
Equipment Purpose
The equipment is mainly for a variety of metal, non-metallic pipe and plate (including a variety of non-metallic materials such as plastics, ceramics, nylon, building materials, etc.) for the impact resistance test testing equipment. It employs an impact force value sensor and a testing system with a high-speed data acquisition card to determine the load and deformation transient values during the fracture process of the impacted specimen, i.e., the impact energy absorption, the force-displacement-energy curve during the impact process, and characteristic points on the curve: yield force Fgy, maximum force Fm, crack initiation force Fiu, crack arrest force Fa, and maximum force energy Wm, crack initiation energy Wiu, crack arrest energy Wa, total impact energy Wt, and corresponding displacements. This allows for fracture analysis of the specimen, reflecting the material’s ability to resist dynamic impact loads, the force and deformation characteristics when subjected to impact loads, and the dynamic fracture toughness analysis of materials under high strain rates.

software features:
- Multilingual version,supporting all languages with dynamic switching.Users can customize translations,and inputs such as execution standards and custom parameters can all be switched in multiple languages.
- Reserved interface for custom data processing algorithms,facilitating the expansion of teaching and research functions.
- Data output includes video and tabular data the measurement process images can be made into videos and outputted for saving,and can be replayed within the software.
- Supports multi-curve display,allowing for intuitive comparison of the impact characteristics of different materials.
- The software can call up the original data curves,and users can manually change the software’s calculation start and end points according to the actual test conditions,and then recalculate.This feature meets the needs of special impact applications,such as multi-layered sample impacts where the impact curve shows multiple peaks,allowing manual selection of a single peak for study.Or in the dynamic compression impact process,where the sample is compacted during the test,resulting in the peak force of the test curve appearing at the end,but the effective curve for studying the dynamic compression impact is in the front part that absorbs the impact energy,thus modifying the calculation start and end points is particularly important.
- The software supports direct export of raw data,curve graphs,and data lists.
- Measurement results and analysis results are output as reports,supporting various file formats such as TXT,XLS,etc.
- Supports multi-user hierarchical management,where administrators can manage the usage permissions of other users.
