Advantages & Features

HIT450P / HIT300P Range of Applications

The HIT450P / HIT300P is a universal pendulum impact tester and can be used for a wide variety of different types of test. Modular design and comprehensive accessories make it well suited to the requirements of research, development and quality assurance.

The HIT450P / HIT300P can be used for tests to the following standards: ISO 148¬1, ASTM E23, BS131¬1, JIS Z 2242, GOST 9454¬78, DIN 50115 (withdrawn).

Impact bending tests on metals (Charpy, Izod – conventional and instrumented)
Impact tensile tests on metals
Brugger tests to verify the wear-behavior of transmission gears
Wedge impact test to determine the strength properties of structural adhesives

HIT750P Range of Applications

The PSW 750 can be used for tests to the following standards (among others): ISO 148-1, ISO 14556, ASTM E23, JIS Z 2242, GOST 9454-78, DIN 50115 (withdrawn).

Impact bending tests on metals (Charpy conventional and instrumented).
Impact tensile tests on metals.

An operational instrument comprises:

basic unit, electro-magnetic pendulum hammer release, electrically operated pendulum lift, electrical safety device and safety housing
grout and heavy-duty screw anchors
steel reinforcement or concrete base
test-specific accessories such as Charpy fixture, support, pendulum rod with hammer, tongs for Charpy specimens
wear parts such as anvils and tups
optional accessories, e.g. PC equipment, temperature-conditioning devices.

Modern touch interface

The new user interface saves time and money

Training is unnecessary: ZwickRoell testing machines and instruments are operated with the same user interface logic.
Plug and play: Common standards are already set up in the ZwickRoell testing software.

Short test cycles

Fast, standard-compliant specimen insertion
Specimen remains can be removed selectively
Semi-automatic centering of Charpy specimens

Reliable test results

Plausibility check of test results enabled by a combination of electronic and analog displays.
The air and bearing friction of the pendulum hammer and the friction of the analog display drag pointer are determined and evaluated with support from the software.
Transmission errors are eliminated: Measurement data from the caliper are read in directly; test series can be transmitted to a PC via a USB port.
The instrumentation determines further important material-specific properties in addition to the potential energy, e.g. force/time characteristic lines.

Reduced operating costs

Anvils made of modern materials with high-quality coatings reduce wear and tear.

Safety and ergonomics

Complies with the requirements of ISO 13849.
With the safety device it is possible to release the pendulum using an integrated release button on the door handle. Immediately after closing the safety device, the test can be initiated. This allows for quick testing of temperature-conditioned specimens.
