Equipped to perform Izod tests at a 2.7 J (2 ft-lbs) capacity, the BLI may also be equipped for Charpy or tensile tests in capacities from 1.4 J to 21.7 J (1 to 16 ft-lbs). Converting from one type of test to another is simple. The various pendulums are interchangeable and are secured to the horizontal bearing shaft by two retaining collars that can be moved outward to release the pendulum. d BLI series impact tester The frame of the machine is a casting that rests on three adjustable feet and provides three tapped holes for hold down bolts. The standard indicating dial is graduated for a capacity of 2.7 J (2 ft-lbs) in increments of 0.015 J (0.01 ft-lbs). Optional dials, graduated in metric or SI units, are also available. The speed of the pendulum's striking head at the instant of impact is 11 ft/sec for all pendulums and capacities. The BLI impact testing machine conforms to the specifications of ASTM D 256 for Izod, ASTM D 6110 for Charpy and ASTM D 1822 for tensile impact tests as well as to Federal specifications L-P-406B for impact testing. Izod Testing The BLI is set up for standard Izod specimen testing. The machine features a 2.7 J (2 ft-lbs) Izod pendulum that can be increased to 5.4 J (4 ft-lbs), 10.8 J (8 ft-lbs) and 21.7 J (16 ft-lbs) by adding optional calibrated weight sets for each capacity. A separate pendulum is available for testing at 1.3 J (1 ft-lbs) capacity. Charpy Testing The BLI is fitted to Charpy testing using optional Charpy pendulums, specimen supports and anvils. Charpy pendulums of 1.3 J (1 ft-lbs), 2.7 J (2 ft-lbs), 5.4 J (4 ft-lbs), 10.8 J (8 ft-lbs) and 21.7 J (16 ft-lbs) are available. The Charpy anvils and specimen holders are secured to the inside and front faces of the vertical frame elements, and may be left in place when the machine is used for Izod testing. Changeover from Izod to Charpy is simple and requires no special skills. Specimen-In-Hand Tensile Impact Testing The BLI can be adapted to tensile impact testing with the addition of optional tension impact pendulums and anvils. In operation, the specimen is positioned in the striking head of the pendulum. The specimen is clamped at one end to the forward vise and at the other end to a detachable crosshead. When the pendulum is released, the specimen is broken by the force exerted from the crosshead meeting the contact legs of the anvil. The energy required to fracture the specimen is read from the dial. Contoured specimens 63.5 mm (2.5 in) long by 9.525 mm (0.37 in) wide and up to 3.175 mm (0.125 in) thick can be tested. As with the Izod pendulum, the 2.7 J (2 ft-lbs) capacity of the tensile impact pendulum can be increased to 5.4 J (4 ft-lbs), 10.8 J (8 ft-lbs) or 21.7 J (16 ft-lbs) by adding weight sets for each capacity. For testing at 1.3 J (1 ft-lbs) capacity, a separate pendulum is used.

Designed to conform to the requirements of ASTM E 23, the SI-1 series performs standard notched bar impact tests and may be equipped with options for tension impact testing. Two models (the SI-1C3 and SI-1K3) also support verification with N.I.S.T. (formerly Watertown) reference specimens standards. The pendulum can be latched in two separate locations known as ‘high latch’ and ‘low latch’. Since the developed energy is a function of the height from which the pendulum is released, each hammer has dual capacities, one from the high latch and another from the low latch. The variable items in the SI-1 series are: h The weight of the pendulum h The striker type The basic model consists of a heavy steel base on which the specimen holder (vise) and a heavy duty cast upright are mounted. On top of the upright, a head assembly contains a shaft supported by precision ball bearings to which the pendulum is attached. A single lever located on top of the head assembly performs three functions-brake, release and latch. h The indicating dial, and the specimen holders Also Supported h h Model DI-300 digital impact display Impulse data acquisition and analysis system TM The various combinations of these items on the basic machine result in five models, as described on the next page. d Control lever (latch, release, brake) d Izod specimen vise d Charpy striker d Charpy specimen vice d Izod striker 5 d The SI-1 impact tester Five SI-1 Models to Meet Your Needs Model SI-1A h Includes all necessary anvils, strikers and specimen holders to perform Charpy and Izod impact tests h Designed for metric dial readings h Equipped with a light hammer h Capacity: - 33.9 J (25 ft-lbs) when pendulum is released from low latch position - 81.3 J (60 ft-lbs) when released from the high latch position h Model SI-1D3 h Equipped to perform Charpy and Izod impact tests h Features two interchangeable pendulums: - Light pendulum and weights provide capacities similar to those of the model SI-1B - Heavy pendulum provides capacities of the SI-1C3 h Indicating Dial Increments: 0.25 J (0.18 ft-lbs) for both capacities Model SI-1B h h Includes all features of the SI-1A, with bolt-on weights to increase capacity Capacity: - 67.8 J (50 ft-lbs) from the low latch position - 162.7 J (120 ft-lbs) from the high latch position h Indicating dial designed for US units h Indicating dial increments: - 0.68 J (0.5 ft-lbs) for capacities of 67.8 J (50 ft-lbs) - 162.7 J (120 ft-lbs) for capacities of 33.9 J (25 ft-lbs) and 81.34 J (60 ft-lbs).
