IMPACT TESTER FOR PVC, CPVC & UPVC PIPE - IS 2818, IS 13592.

Compliance Standards

1. IS 4985: Unplasticized PVC (UPVC) Pipes for Potable Water
2. IS 12818: UPVC Pipes for Borewell Applications
3. IS 13592: UPVC Pipes for Soil and Waste Discharge (SWR) Inside Buildings

Test Method Overview

The impact resistance of thermoplastic pipes is determined by subjecting them to the impact of a free-falling striker (tup) from a specified height. The test measures pipe resistance to failure (crack, split, or penetration) under sudden shock loads at prescribed temperatures.

Specification : 

1. Height of fall : 100, 500, 1000 & 2000 mm 
2. Max dia of test sample : 315 mm
3. Material of striker : M.S (Chrome Plated)
4. Weight of striker : 250 gms, 500 gms & 1 Kg, 1.6 Kg, 2.5 Kg, 3.2 Kg, 4 Kg, 5 Kg & 6.3 Kg
5. Release of the striker : Manual with rope release
6. Paint : Powder coating.
7. Spring tension mechanism to hold the load makes operation easy and by one person.
8. Load connected with spring tension to the mechanism and can be taken to desired Height and can be release with pulling rope. 

Available at Extra cost
