ISO 179-2 Instrumented Charpy Impact Test for Plastics
ISO 179-2 is the instrumented Charpy pendulum impact method for plastics, recording the force during impact in addition to absorbed energy. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ISO 179-2 Covers
It adds an instrumented striker to the plastics Charpy test so that force-deflection behaviour, and the separation of initiation and propagation, can be obtained alongside total energy.
Why It Matters
Instrumented data reveals how a plastic fails under impact, supporting material development and failure analysis beyond a single energy value.
