TRAM, PIT - Pendulum Impact Tester

The Pendulum Impact Tester offers a unique solution for generating, filing, and displaying quality data. It is built around an instrumented impact tester and offers a fast and effective way of generating and presenting data for quality reports for products such as plastics and fibre-cement boards. It comes with Tram-QA, a Windows-based QA-software, which offers a data filing and retrieving system providing instant access to reports on previously tested specimens. It is ideally suited to quality assurance and process control as well as research and development. It can easily be set-up for relevant national standards.
The machine can be supplied with several set of supports for different sample sizes, and with several sizes of hammer-head for different impact energies. The supports are designed to ensure parallel contact between the edge of the hammer and the surface of the sample, even for a warped sample. The pendulum is then manually moved to the start position. When released, the hammer swings down on the sample.
Our range of impact testers include two different variants: The PIT 4 and PIT 8 testers are made specifically for testing samples of fibre cement sheets. The PIT 1-5J and PIT 7.5-50J are general-purpose Charpy testers, which can be used for a wide range of materials. These testers are made according to the ISO 179 standard, to ensure that they can be used for most tests.
Like others in the range of Tram Testers, the Pendulum Impact Tester offers an easy-to-use environment, and the possibility to create instant product-quality reports.
