Instrumented Impact TesterInstrumented Impact Tester

The Instron Dynatup® 9250HV Impact Tester provides computer controlled monitoring of an impact event allowing for full analysis of the impact force versus time profile.

From this the extraction of important properties such as total energy, energy to yield, impact velocity, energy at max load, total deflection, load at failure, total time, load at yield, and time to yield is possible.
