PENDULUM ACCESSORIES FOR MPX

Pendulum Impact Systems

Instron® floor model pendulums are designed to meet the growing demand for accurate and repeatable impact testing on metals. Used to determine the mechanical and physical properties of metals and finished products for both research and development (R&D) and quality control (QC), the MPX and SI floor model pendulums are capable of performing Charpy and Izod tests according to international standards. As non-instrumented systems, they provide the absorbed energy value. By fully instrumenting the pendulum, a more complete study of how the material reacts to impact can be gathered. This information is useful when evaluating the type of failure or the dynamic response of the material.
