ASTM D3763 — High-Speed Puncture Properties of Plastics (Instrumented Impact)

← Back to all standards

ASTM D3763 is the test method for the high-speed puncture properties of plastics using instrumented load and displacement sensing. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ASTM D3763 Covers

It drives a striker through a plate or sheet specimen at high speed while recording force and displacement, giving puncture energy, peak force, and deformation, a multi-point picture of impact behaviour.

Why It Matters

Instrumented puncture reproduces real impact events on sheet and molded parts better than a single-energy test, supporting material selection and part design.
