Izod Impact (Unnotched) by ASTM D4812, ISO 180
Impact resistance of polymers using pendulum impact- Izod Impact Testing (Unnotched Izod) by ASTM D4812, ISO 180. This test provides a quick and easy quality control check to compare materials for general toughness and determine if a material meets specific impact properties.
Scope:
Unnotched Izod Impact ASTM D4812 is a single-point test, and it evaluates the resistance of a material to impact from a swinging pendulum. Izod impact is the kinetic energy required to initiate fracture and continue until the test specimen is broken. This test provides a quick and easy quality control check to compare materials for general toughness and determine if a material meets specific impact properties.
Test Procedure:
A pendulum impact test fixture is used for this test. First, the specimen bar is clamped into the fixture keeping the thin edge facing towards the striking edge of the pendulum. Then, the striking pendulum is released to strike through the specimen. A heavier hammer is used to achieve failure if a breakage does not occur.
Specimen size:
For the ASTM D4812 test, the standard specimen measurement is 64 mm × 12.7 mm × 3.2 mm (2½ × ½ × 1/8 inch). The thickness of the specimen is usually 3.2 mm (0.125 inches); however, the ideal thickness is 6.4 mm or 0.25 inches so that the specimen does not bend or crush easily. Type 1A multipurpose specimen, of dimensions 80 mm × 10 mm × 4 mm, with the end tabs cut off, is used as the standard specimen for ISO 180.
Data:
Izod impact energy is expressed in J/m or ft-lb/in. To calculate Impact strength, impact energy (in J or ft-lb) is divided by the thickness of the specimen. The test result is expressed as the average of 5 specimens.
ISO impact strength is stated in kJ/m2. Dividing impact energy (J) by the area under the notch gives the impact strength. The test result contains an average of data obtained for ten specimens.
A higher value of the resulting number indicates a tougher material.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
ASTM C724 test method is used in analyzing the quality and ease of maintenance of a ceramic decoration on architectural-type glass. This test method is useful in the acknowledgment of technical standards.
