ASTM E2298: Instrumented Impact Testing of Metallic Materials (Instrumented Charpy)

← Back to all standards

ASTM E2298 is the test method for instrumented impact testing of metals using instrumented Charpy V-notch specimens, capturing the force-time signal during fracture. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ASTM E2298 Covers

It adds a strain-gauged striker to the Charpy test so that the force during fracture is recorded, allowing initiation and propagation energies and dynamic behaviour to be separated from the total absorbed energy.

Why It Matters

Instrumented data reveals how a metal fractures, not just the total energy, which supports research, weld qualification, and transition-region characterization.
