Film Pendulum Impact Tester

Accurate Wrap Film Toughness Testing

Le film pendulum impact tester is a specialized instrument designed to measure the impact resistance of thin plastic films and flexible sheet materials. In industries where packaging performance is crucial—such as food, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and consumer goods—this instrument plays a vital role in contrôle de qualité et material development.


    PIT-01 Pendulum Impact Tester

    By simulating real-world stress conditions, the film pendulum impact tester evaluates how well a film can withstand sudden impact forces. This performance indicator is essential in predicting the durability of packaging materials during production, shipping, and handling. For manufacturers seeking compliance and consistency, the film pendulum impact tester ensures materials meet global standards, including ASTM D3420.

    Overview: Film Pendulum Impact Tester

    The Pendulum Impact Tester is a precision instrument designed to evaluate the toughness and impact resistance of plastic films, foils, laminates, paper, and similar flexible materials. By simulating real-world impact forces, the tester helps manufacturers ensure that packaging materials can withstand drops, collisions, and handling stresses throughout the supply chain.

    Importance of Testing Film with the Pendulum Impact Tester

    Impact resistance is critical for maintaining the structural integrity and functionality of flexible packaging materials. The Pendulum Impact Tester quantifies a film’s ability to resist tearing or rupturing upon sudden impact. This testing allows manufacturers to:

    • Prevent product damage during transportation
    • Optimize material formulation and layer design
    • Meet regulatory and industry-specific durability standards
    • Ensure consistent quality in high-volume production

    Working Principle of the Pendulum Impact Tester

    The tester works by releasing a pendulum from a known height to strike a clamped film specimen. The energy absorbed by the film in stopping the pendulum is measured precisely. The result is reported in joules or grams-centimeters, representing the material’s impact resistance.

    Key elements of the test process include:

    • Securely clamping the film sample in a circular frame
    • Selecting an appropriate impact head or pendulum weight
    • Recording the pendulum swing before and after the strike
    • Calculating the energy difference to determine absorbed impact energy

    Benefits of the Pendulum Impact Tester for Film

    Using the Pendulum Impact Tester offers several key advantages:

    • Accurate and repeatable results that support material quality control
    • Fast testing cycle for high-throughput environments
    • User-friendly interface with intuitive controls
    • Flexible setup to accommodate various film thicknesses and structures
    • Compliance with global standards, ensuring trustworthy results
    • Reduced material waste through early defect detection

    Conformité aux normes

    The Pendulum Impact Tester complies with several international testing standards, including:

    • ASTM D3420 – Standard Test Method for Pendulum Impact Resistance of Plastic Film
    • ISO 7765-2 – Determination of impact resistance by pendulum method
    • GB/T 8809 – Chinese national standard for film impact testing

    Compliance ensures that results are universally accepted and comparable across labs and industries.
