IZOD IMPACT TEST Aim: To determine the impact strength of the given specimen by conducting Izod impact test. Apparatus and specimen required: 1. Impact testing machine with attachment for Izod test. 2. Given specimen 3. Vernier caliper Procedure: 1. Measure the length (l), breadth (b), & depth (d) of the given specimen. 2. Measure the position of notch (i.e. groove) from one end (lg), depth of groove (dg) and top width of the groove (wg) in the given specimen. 3. Make sure the proper striker is secured firmly to the bottom of the hammer. 4. Make sure the latching tube fixed horizontally. 5. When the pendulum is hanging free vertically, adjust the reading pointer along with pointer carrier on 16.52 Kgm / 168 J reading in izod scale. 6. Lift the pendulum and latch it. 7. Place the specimen vertically upwards such that the shorter distance between one end of the specimen and groove will be protruding length and also the groove in the specimen should face the striking end of the hammer. 8. Release the pendulum using the lever and note down the final reading in the izod scale which will be the Impact Energy absorbed in Kgm or Joules. 9. Calculate the notch impact strength I using following relationship:- [pic] Observation: 1. Material of the given specimen = 2. Type of notch (i.e. groove) = 3. Length of the specimen, l = mm 4. Breadth of the specimen, b = mm 5. Depth of the specimen, d = mm 6. Position of groove from one end, (lg) = mm 7. Depth of groove (dg) = mm 8. Width of groove (wg) = mm 9. Izod scale reading = Joules Result: The impact strength I of the given specimen is --------- Joules
