Impact Testing for Toughness and Durability Under Real-World Conditions
When materials are exposed to sudden forces—like drops, collisions, or vibrations—impact testing becomes essential to ensure safety and performance. Our impact testing services evaluate how materials respond to high-speed or shock loading, helping you determine their toughness and resistance to fracture. Whether you're testing metals, plastics, composites, or finished products, we deliver precise, actionable insights that support safer design, better material selection, and reliable product performance across industries.
How Impact Testing Works
Impact testing involves striking a material sample with a controlled force using equipment like a Charpy or Izod impact tester. The test measures how much energy the material absorbs before breaking, providing key data on its impact strength and fracture behaviour. This information is critical for applications where materials may face sudden or extreme conditions, such as in automotive, aerospace, construction, and consumer goods. We adhere to recognized standards ensuring results are consistent, comparable, and reliable. With our expert testing and clear reporting, you gain the knowledge to design with confidence and meet stringent safety requirements.
