What is the PIT302CW-60?

A computer-controlled, low-temperature automatic Charpy impact testing machine for measuring the impact resistance of metals and other materials, with 300 J maximum impact energy and a 10–90% FS effective range.

Which standards does it cover?

ISO 148-1, ASTM E23, EN 10045-1, JIS Z 2242, GOST 9454-78 and ISO R83, with 2 mm and 8 mm striking edges.

How cold does it go?

A compressor cryogenic system holds +30 to −60 °C with ±0.5 °C accuracy, cooling to −60 °C in under 60 minutes. Specimens are transferred and positioned pneumatically in 5 seconds or less, to 0.1 mm.

How accurate is the measurement?

A photoelectric encoder gives 0.025° angle resolution and 0.01 J energy resolution on screen (0.5 J on the dial). Impact speed is 5.24 m/s at a 150° striking angle, with 40 mm support span.

What else is included?

One-body cast frame, exchangeable 150/300/450/600/750 J pendulums, interlocked full enclosure, motorised specimen collection and PC software for curves and reports.
