Unlocking the Strength Within:
Exploring Metal Impact Testing with ASTM E23 & ISO Standards.
The Charpy impact test, also known as the Charpy V-notch test, is a standardized high strain-rate test which determines the amount of energy absorbed by a material during fracture. This absorbed energy is a measure of a given material's notch toughness and acts as a tool to study temperature-dependent ductile-brittle transition. It is widely applied in industry, since it is easy to prepare and conduct and results can be obtained quickly and cheaply.
At Subodh we conduct impact tests as per ASTM E23 as well as ISO 148 on calibrated machines of Capacity 400 J and 300 J at various temperatures ranging from ambient to Sub Zero (minus 196 Deg.C)

SMT has integrated a digital impact testing machine calibrated to ASTM E23 and ISO 148 standards, positioning the company as one of the few in the industry to offer this advanced capability. The benefits of this machine include:
Enhanced Accuracy and Precision: Digital impact machines provide higher measurement accuracy compared to traditional analog models. Calibration to ASTM E23 and ISO 148 ensures the machine’s results are in alignment with internationally recognized standards, minimizing measurement discrepancies.
Standardized Testing: Compliance with ASTM and ISO standards guarantees consistency and reliability in test procedures and results, facilitating comparability across different laboratories and industries.
Increased Efficiency: Digital interfaces allow for faster data processing and result analysis, reducing manual intervention and potential human errors, thereby streamlining the testing workflow.
Improved Data Traceability and Documentation: Digital systems automatically store and log test data, ensuring proper documentation for quality assurance and traceability purposes. This aids in compliance with regulatory requirements and industry audits.
Real-time Monitoring and Feedback: Digital systems provide instant feedback on test results, allowing for immediate assessment and quick decision-making during material testing.
Enhanced Safety Features: Modern digital impact testing machines often come with advanced safety mechanisms, including automated pendulum release, reducing risks associated with manual operation and improving the overall safety of the testing process.
Higher Resolution and Readability: Digital machines feature improved display systems that offer enhanced readability, enabling precise measurement at finer resolutions (e.g., 0.1 Joules), which is crucial for high-accuracy impact testing.
