ISO 179-1 defines the Charpy impact test for plastics under defined pendulum-impact conditions, measuring absorbed energy for notched or unnotched specimens. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ISO 179-1 Covers
It specifies edgewise and flatwise Charpy arrangements, notch types, and conditioning for plastics, giving a consistent measure of impact strength for compounds and moldings.
Why It Matters
Charpy impact strength is a common quality and formulation indicator for plastics; controlled notching and conditioning keep results comparable.
