ASTM D6110 is the Charpy pendulum impact method for determining the impact resistance of notched plastic specimens. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ASTM D6110 Covers
It applies the Charpy simple-beam arrangement to notched plastics, striking the specimen and measuring absorbed energy to characterize impact resistance and notch sensitivity.
Why It Matters
Charpy impact ranks the toughness of plastic compounds and molded parts; consistent notching and conditioning are essential for comparable results.
