Film Pendulum Impact Tester

Understanding a material’s ability to withstand sudden shock or puncture is essential for ensuring durability in real-world applications. The film pendulum impact tester plays a vital role in quantifying this characteristic, especially for plastic films, laminates, and flexible packaging materials. By following standardized methods such as ASTM D3420, this testing approach provides valuable insights into the impact resistance of plastic film under controlled conditions. At Cell Instruments, the PIT-01 Pendulum Impact Tester is designed to meet this demand. It delivers precise energy measurement, reproducibility, and compliance with international ASTM standards for impact testing of plastics, supporting both research and quality assurance. ASTM D3420 and Spencer Impact Test: Recognized Standards in […]

Falling Dart Impact Test: Understanding Film Durability and ASTM D1709 Standards

The Falling Dart Impact Test is a key procedure used to assess the strength and durability of films, particularly in industries where packaging materials need to withstand sudden impacts. The test simulates real-world conditions where packaging materials may be exposed to physical stresses. What is the Dart Impact Test? The Falling Dart Impact Test is a widely used test to evaluate the resistance of films and flexible materials to impact damage. In this test, a dart is dropped from a set height onto the film specimen, and the energy absorbed by the material is measured. The test helps manufacturers determine the material’s toughness and its ability to withstand real-world handling, […]
