Paper Bags Pendulum Impact Tester ASTM D3420 Impact Tester For Flexible Packaging Impact Resistance Tester Use Pendulum

Background

The PIT-01 Pendulum Impact Tester, compliant with ASTM D3420, is designed to measure the energy necessary to burst and penetrate the center of a specimen. This quantification is achieved by assessing the loss in mechanical work capacity resulting from the kinetic energy expenditure of a pendulum. It is an indispensable tool for evaluating impact resistance properties in various materials including films, sheets, composites, foils, and paper.

Application

Tailored for assessing impact resistance, particularly in thin films, sheets, composites, foils, and paper, the PIT-01 quantifies the energy required for rupture or penetration at a specimen's center.
