IMPACT TEST

perinent no. 2 CIARPY TEST

Aim: To dctermine the impact resistance of the given specimen using Charpy fraclure lest

Apparatus: Vernier caliper, mild slecl specimen, level indicator (setting gauge)

Procedurc:
.Mcasure the arca of cross seetion of the specimen below the notch (mm)

2 Adjust the pointer along with pointer carrier on 300 Joules reading on the dial when the
pendulum is having frec vertically.

3. Raise the pendulum manually and latch in at an angle 136 degrcc witlh restccl to
horizontal axis of the specimen.

Now clamp he specinicn firmly in the specimen support with the help of clanping
sCren ancd sctting gauge.

. Care is to be taken that the notch the

on specimen should face the pendulun striker.
6. Relcase the pendulum by operating the lever to hit thc specimen.
. Wait till the pcndulum reveres its swing and carefully retard the siwinging penlulum by
opcrating the pendulum brake.
8. Note cdown impact energy (K) on the dial through pointer.
9. Remove the broken speciinen
by louseining the clamping screw and the machine is
o lake ncxl
reading. rcady
10. Mount the
specimen in the machine in SIMPLY SUPPORTED fashion
