Optional Frame Features

Anti-Rebound System
The absorbed kinetic energy of the falling crosshead can cause a rebound during drop
events. The anti-rebound system prevents secondary impacts on the sample and can
catch even the heaviest crosshead.

Environmental Chamber
Many components and materials are subjected to conditions above or below ambient
temperatures. To simulate impact performance under these environmental conditions, the
CEAST 9300 Series can be fitted with an environmental chamber, which cools specimens
to -70°C (-94°F) or heats them up to 150°C (302°F). Air is circulated throughout the
chamber, providing uniform temperature distribution to eliminate hot or cool spots.

Additional Height
We offer a steel base that lifts the drop tower by 300 mm (12 in). This extra height allows
easier access to the test space.

Additional Energy System

This option increases the maximum energy of the CEAST 9350 system from 755 to 1800
Joules (1327.6 ft-lb). The spring-assisted velocity system accelerates the crosshead to
increase the maximum impact energy with speeds up to 24 m/s (78.7 ft/s) with a 2 kg
(4.4 lb) mass and 7 m/s (23 ft/s) with a 70 kg (154 lb) mass.

Pivoting Specimen Loader

The pivoting specimen loader can test up to 10 specimens in rapid sequence within the
environmental chamber.

Automatic Specimen Feeding System *

The specimen feeding system performs tests in an automatic cycle within the
environmental chamber and tests up to 120 samples per hour. This system is designed to
meet the demand for automation where intensive, high-volume testing is required.
*Must be added with initial purchase. It cannot be added in the field.

 Tup Holders
A range of tup holders and additional weight sets are available for the CEAST 9300 Series
Drop Towers. Used to tailor the energy requirements to meet your needs, they reduce the
minimum energy or add to the maximum energy available.

Tups and Inserts
The tup is the heart of the drop tower; it’s the piece that impacts the sample or component.
This mechanical component comes in diverse shapes, sizes, and weights. Most tups
can be purchased with sensors to perform instrumented impact tests, as well as
interchangeable inserts (the head of the tup). The required capacity is dependent on the
application and based on the expected maximum load, not the machine’s energy capacity.

Instrumented Tups
Instrumented tups are designed with either a strain gauge or piezoelectric sensor
embedded in the tup insert. These devices capture the impact and transform it into an
electric signal, which is collected by a data acquisition system so the user can see a picture
of the impact.

Instrumented tups are available in a range of shapes and sensors to comply with various
testing standards.

Un-Instrumented Tups
Un-instrumented tups are used for tests where “break” or “no break” type results are
required. These devices have a geometrical shape that is defined by a test standard.
In cases where un-instrumented tups are designed to work with tensile-impact and
adhesive-impact fixtures, the force sensor is installed in the application-specific fixture.

Strain Gauge Sensor

As the more robust tup inserts, strain gauge sensors are recommended for impact testing
of materials that are made from composites, fail in a ductile mode, and are anticipated to
have load values more than 5 kN (1124 lbs).

Piezoelectric Sensor
These higher-frequency tup inserts are ideal when testing fairly brittle or light-load
materials, such as thin films.

Compression After Impact (CAI) testing is common for composite materials and standards
including Boeing BMS-7260, SACMA 2R-94, ASTM D7136/M, and Airbus AITM 1.0010.
The fixture and insert varies for each test, and the crosshead weight is very important.
The anti-rebound system is required for all standards, while a tup and insert are required
to complete the configuration and must be chosen based on the expected maximum load.

 Pendulum Accessories

The CEAST 9000 Series Pendulum Impact Systems are designed to test a wide range of
samples, from bars/dumbbell to pipes, in accordance with specific standards. The CEAST
9050 is the advanced model of the series. It can be fitted with accessories for Charpy,
IZOD, Pipe, and Tensile Impact Testing. Each test requires a specific vice/fixture, specimen
adapters, and hammers, and most tests can be conducted either with an un-instrumented
or instrumented hammer.

 Charpy Testing | Polymers (ISO, BS, and DIN)
Accessories are available for ISO 179, BS 2782-359, DIN 53453,
and DIN 53753. Since the hammer energy determines the
velocity of test, the vice required and the shoulders should be
chosen based on the specimen size. Samples are aligned on
the fixture either by a notch alignment device or side alignment
device for un-notched specimens. Instrumented hammers are
available and, when combined with a DAS and Visual Impact
software, will provide load-displacement data for the test.

 IZOD Testing | Polymers
An IZOD test consists of impacting a specimen in a cantilever bending mode while the
fixed end is clamped in a vice. This method gives a higher stress than a Charpy test, but
may require a controlled clamping force for good repeatability. The manual vice can be
tightened using the optional torque wrench (7610.204), while the clamping force can
be adjusted using the lever or pneumatically-operated vices. Instrumented hammers
are available and, when combined with a DAS and Visual Impact Software, will provide
load-displacement data for the test.

 Pipe Testing | Polymers
According to ISO 7628 and ISO 9854, either complete segments or small sections of
pipes are ideal for testing on a pendulum in a 3-point bend configuration similar to the
Charpy tests. Sample diameter dimensions up to 25 mm (0.98 in) can be tested with
hammer energies of 7.5 - 15 J (5.6 - 11.1 ft-lbs) or 50 J (36.9 ft-lbs), as defined in the
ISO standards.

Method A) or attached directly to the pendulum
hammer (ISO 8256 Method B). Hammer energies
are available from 0.5 - 50 J (0.37 - 36.9 ft-lbs)
depending on the type of the test. The Tensile
Impact Vice can be fitted in the crosshead with
an optional device to ensure specimen alignment.

Instrumentation and Software

The addition of instrumentation to an impact system allows the engineer to “see” all
types of information that was previously unknown, including incipient damage points
and ductile-brittle transition zones. With instrumentation, the load on the specimen is
continuously recorded as a function of time and/or specimen deflection prior to fracture.
This gives a more complete representation of an impact than a single calculated value.
Because failures originate at the weakest point and propagate from there, samples don’t
have to shatter to be considered failures. Depending on the requirements, failure can be
defined by deformation, crack initiation, or complete fracture.

Specimen Preparation

Proper preparation of the specimen is a critical process for accurate material

characterization. An appropriate preparation of the specimen, as well as an adequate
notching procedure, effect the final test results, that generate reliable outcomes in the
finished product performances. This is accomplished by several specimen preparation
techniques, making them particularly suitable to select the most appropriate material
and failure results analysis.

According to the requirements of the main international standards, Instron® offers

an extensive range of notching, milling, and punching machines designed to prepare
specimens from thin to thick samples, as well as from soft to hard samples and
reinforced plastic materials.

 Notching Machines
Notching Machines are designed to notch specimens for impact resilience determinations
according to Izod, Charpy, and Tensile Impact methods. These instruments use a
linear knife cutting technique to avoid overheating and consequent stresses during the
specimens notching operations. Therefore, they are able to guarantee an accurate notch
preparation. Manual, motorized, and fully-automatic models are available to cover the
different testing needs.

Manual and Motorized Models

The manual and motorized Notching Machines are designed to notch thermoplastic
material specimens. A notch, with dimension according to the requirement of the
main international standards, is obtained by means of a constant profile knife with an
alternating linear movement. For high precision, a micro-metric head with digital display
can be supplied to ensure a constant monitoring of the specimen notch.
