ASTM D256 - Standard Test Methods for Determining the Izod Pendulum Impact Resistance of Plastics

ISO 180 - Plastics - Determination of Izod impact strength


 

Standard

 

This standard covers the test methods for pendulum type impact testing on plastic specimen. The impact test helps determine the plastics brittleness/ductility by concentrating the impact to a notch on the specimen which produces a standardized and controlled weak point in the specimen. The impact resistance or energy obsorption (energy loss of pendulum swing) is measured by the change in hammers swing angle.

ASTM D256 - Fig. 6 Dimensions of Izod-Type Test Specimen

 

ASTM D256: 63.5 x 12.7 x 3~12.7mm / 2.5" x .5" x 0.118~0.5" (J/m or ft-lb/in.)

ISO 180: 80 x 10 x 4mm (kJ/m2)

 

The results are expressed in energy lost per unit of thickness (such as ft·lb/in or J/cm) at the notch. Alternatively, the results may be reported as energy lost per unit cross-sectional area at the notch (J/m2 or ft·lb/in2). In Europe, ISO 180 methods are used and results are based only on the cross-sectional area at the notch (J/m2). The dimensions of a standard specimen for ASTM D256 are 63.5 × 12.7 × 3.2 mm (2.5 × 0.5 × 0.125 in). The most common specimen thickness is 3.2 mm (0.13 in), but the width can vary between 3.0 and 12.7 mm (0.12 and 0.50 in).
