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 진자 충격 시험기 is designed to meet this demand. It delivers precise energy measurement, reproducibility, and compliance with international 플라스틱의 충격 테스트를 위한 ASTM 표준, supporting both research and quality assurance.

ASTM D3420 and Spencer Impact Test: Recognized Standards in Pendulum Shock Testing

그리고 ASTM D3420 standard outlines the methodology for measuring pendulum impact resistance of plastic film, using a hemispherical impactor to strike the test sample. The spencer impact test, often referenced interchangeably, uses a similar swinging pendulum design to simulate sudden impact on thin materials.

Both methods calculate the energy absorbed during impact, providing a quantitative assessment of the film’s toughness. These tests are essential when evaluating packaging films used in high-risk environments such as food, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications.

Moreover, compliance with 플라스틱의 충격 테스트를 위한 ASTM 표준 ensures data integrity and supports regulatory documentation for product validation.

Applications of Pendulum Impact Resistance Test in Industry

그리고 film impact resistance test is widely used across industries that rely on durable, high-performance film structures. Common applications include:

• Flexible Packaging: Assessing whether medical or food-grade packaging can resist puncture during transport.
• Printing & Paper: Measuring the tear strength of laminated and coated paper substrates.
• Automotive & Aerospace: Testing composite films and membranes used in interiors and insulation.
• Construction: Evaluating building wrap, foils, and vapor barriers for resistance to mechanical insult.

Each of these applications demands precision and repeatability—requirements that are fully addressed by automated pendulum impact testing equipment such as the PIT-01.

Working Principle of the Film Pendulum Impact Testing Process

During a pendulum shock test, the sample is clamped securely, typically using pneumatic fixtures for consistency. A pendulum swings from a known height, and its impact energy is transferred to the specimen through a calibrated head.

The energy absorbed is calculated based on the reduction in pendulum swing angle after impact. This energy reflects the sample’s toughness—a crucial metric for packaging engineers and R&D professionals seeking to optimize materials for performance and safety.

그리고 PIT-01 진자 충격 시험기 supports multiple impact heads (Ø25.4, Ø19, and Ø12.7 mm) and energy levels up to 5 J, allowing users to tailor testing based on sample type and expected performance thresholds.

Why Choose Cell Instruments’ PIT-01 for Film Impact Resistance Test?

When performing pendulum impact resistance test, consistency is key. Manual testers often suffer from operator variability, leading to fluctuating data. The PIT-01, with its PLC-controlled pneumatic clamping, automatic pendulum release및 touchscreen interface, ensures each test starts under the same conditions and records data accurately to 0.001 J resolution.

Its key features include:

• Automatic data collection and analysis with max/min/average outputs
• Built-in micro-printer for instant reporting
• Adjustable specimen clamps for various sample sizes
• Software compatibility for data export and long-term monitoring
