We calibrate pendulum impact testers within the following ranges:

  • Range: from 5 to 2500 J
  • Uncertainty: 0.1%

We perform calibration of pendulum impact testers for testing according to the following methods:

  • Charpy (ISO 148-1, ASTM E23, ASTM D6110)
  • Izod (ASTM D256)

As part of calibration, the following parameters are checked:

  • pendulum impact energy
  • pendulum mass and geometry
  • lifting height and angle of fall
  • pendulum velocity at the moment of impact
  • supports and specimen holders
  • energy indication and reading system

Calibration can be performed for stationary laboratory impact testers from various manufacturers.

FAQ - Calibration of Pendulum Impact Testers

What is calibration of a pendulum impact tester?

It is the verification of the metrological characteristics of an impact tester by determining the actual impact energy and confirming that the test parameters comply with the requirements of relevant standards.

Which standards is calibration performed according to?

Calibration is performed in accordance with the requirements of ISO and ASTM, including ISO 148-1, ASTM E23, ASTM D6110, and ASTM D256, with the issuance of a calibration certificate according to ISO/IEC 17025.

Which parameters are checked during calibration?

During calibration, the following parameters are evaluated:

  • pendulum impact energy;
  • pendulum mass and geometry;
  • lifting height and angle of fall;
  • pendulum velocity at the moment of impact;
  • condition and position of specimen supports;
  • accuracy of the indication and result reading system.

How often should a pendulum impact tester be calibrated?

The recommended calibration interval is once every 12 months, or more frequently depending on the intensity of use, operating conditions, and the requirements of the company’s internal procedures.

How does calibration differ from maintenance?

Calibration confirms the metrological characteristics of the equipment and their compliance with standards. Maintenance is aimed at keeping mechanical and electronic components in working condition, but it does not replace calibration.

What documents do you receive after calibration?

After the work is completed, the customer receives an ISO/IEC 17025 calibration certificate, which contains measurement results, uncertainty evaluation, and information on metrological traceability.
