Impact test set for film
max. 3.7 m/s, 0.7 m | CEAST 9310 Instron

The Model 9310 instrument is used for the study of impact on films and laminates using the guided falling weight technique. This sysytem can be equipped with instrumented strikers and DAS 16000 or DAS8000, as well as a wide range of darts that are available to test to standards including ISO, ASTM, BS, NF.

Features
The 9310 offers a maximum impact energy of 21 J (15.4 ft-lbs), a maximum impact speed of 3.7 m/s (12.1 ft/s), and a maximum falling height of 0.7 m (27.5 inches). This bench-type tester can be used with non-instrumented strikers for statistical control of materials impact resistance, as well as with instrumented tups and CEAST DAS8000 and DAS 16000 Data Acquisition Systems. The falling crosshead is guided by twin calibrated steel columns and the impact energy is released directly through the specimen and its support system, giving maximum structural strength and minimum dynamic interference. The 9310 offers a specially designed clamping arrangement that allows both films and rigid sheets to be tested with the same fixture by easily reversing the clamping plates. Tups are available in different geometries in both instrumented and non-instrumented mode.
