Скачать или смотреть How to Calibrate a Low Capacity Impact Testing System | Model IT504 from Tinius Olsen

This quick video gives the simple calibration procedure for a Model IT504 Low Capacity Impact Testing System that is suggested be performed daily. Pro tips include zeroing the pendulum, performing a free swing and accepting or rejecting the compensation result.

This procedure also applies to the Model IT503, which has the same mechanical and testing properties as the IT504, but also features an interlocking safety shield that must first be engaged.

System Overview

The highly versatile Model IT504 Low Capacity Impact Tester combines simple operation with an easy-to-use digital display. Designed for both Charpy and Izod testing, the system can switch between testing modes without swapping the entire pendulum through interchangeable tups and clamps.

The IT504 covers a wide range of standards including:

· ISO 180 (Izod impact); ISO 179 (Charpy impact)
· ASTM D256 (Izod impact); ASTM D6110 (Charpy impact)
· ASTM D4812 (Unnotched Cantilever Beam Impact)
· ASTM D4508 (Chip Impact)
· ASTM D950 (Adhesive Bond Impact)

The optical encoder mounted on the machine’s shaft resolves less than 0.03% of pendulum capacity, for accurate measurement of energy absorbed, which can be configured in metric, SI, or English units.

Applications

The IT504 is used in quality control, material characterization and research applications to evaluate consistency in production, adherence to industry standards and failure analysis. The packaging, automotive, plastics and polymers, consumer goods, medical and electronics industries frequently employ low capacity plastic impact testing.

With a standard ‘low blow’ feature, the IT504 provides a convenient means of releasing the pendulum from a lower-than-normal height to test at lower energy levels and impact velocities, making it ideal for lightweight, brittle or delicate plastics, such as thin film, aged or UV-degraded plastics and recyclable materials as well as coatings and laminates.
