Rotomoulded Tank Wall Falling Weight Impact Tester

Drop weight impact tester for assessing the impact resistance of rotationally moulded polyethylene water tank wall samples at ambient and low temperature. Used by tank manufacturers for batch release.

Specification

A tup of defined mass is dropped from a selected height onto a flat sample cut from the tank wall, which may be conditioned in a cold box. Failure mode and energy are recorded to check brittleness and moulding quality. The instrument is built for the thicker wall sections of rotomoulded tanks.

Features

• Drop height up to 2 m
• Tup mass 5 - 20 kg
• Cold box conditioning option to -20 deg C
• Pneumatic clamp for flat specimens
