Computerised Izod Impact Tester (Product Code: SLE/ET/03) is a pendulum impact testing instrument used to measure how much energy a notched specimen absorbs when a single swing breaks it, in plastics and materials testing laboratories. Its pendulum is released from 150°, energy ranges extend to 25.00 joules, and a microcontroller shows impact strength directly in J/m and kg-cm/cm. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory instruments supplier in India serving colleges and test labs.

In an Izod test the notched specimen is clamped upright as a short cantilever with the notch facing the striker. The pendulum is lifted to its 150° release position and let go; it breaks the specimen and swings on, and the energy it has lost is the energy absorbed in fracture. The microcontroller turns this into impact strength in J/m or kg-cm/cm, while the PC software can plot impact energy against angular displacement.
Laboratories use it to compare the toughness of plastic grades, to see how fillers, moulding conditions or temperature change brittleness, and to teach fracture behaviour in materials courses. Pick the smallest energy range that covers the expected break so the finer resolution is used, for example 0.02 J on the 0–2.71 J range, and notch every specimen the same way, because notch geometry strongly affects the result. This makes it practical engineering lab equipment in India for polymer and mechanical engineering departments.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and operates from Ambala, Haryana, India. It supplies the Computerised Izod Impact Tester to polymer-processing units, engineering colleges, polytechnics and testing laboratories, and can quote it together with related instruments when a buyer is equipping a complete plastics testing room.

What energy ranges does the Computerised Izod Impact Tester cover?
The Computerised Izod Impact Tester measures impact energy up to 25.00 J, with ranges of 0–2.71 J, 0–5.42 J, 0–10.84 J, 0–21.68 J and 0–25.00 J, and minimum resolution from 0.02 J on the lowest range to 0.2 J on the highest.
How does the Computerised Izod Impact Tester show results?
The Computerised Izod Impact Tester displays impact strength directly through its microcontroller in J/m and kg-cm/cm. With a PC connected, it can also show an impact energy versus angular displacement graph and print numeric reports in different units on an attached printer.
Are the reports based on a test standard?
The product specification for the Computerised Izod Impact Tester lists PC reports of impact-strength values to ASTM and IS test methods, in different units. Because specimen and notch requirements differ between methods, confirm the exact method your laboratory follows with us before ordering.
What is the pendulum release angle?
The pendulum of the Computerised Izod Impact Tester is released from 150°. A fixed release angle gives the same starting energy for every swing, which keeps results comparable from one specimen to the next.
Do specimens need to be notched before testing?
Yes, Izod specimens are normally notched before testing, and notch shape strongly affects the result. ScienceLab's Motorized Notch Cutter (Variable Speed) prepares consistent notches and can be quoted together with the Computerised Izod Impact Tester.
Who supplies the Computerised Izod Impact Tester?
The Computerised Izod Impact Tester is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to plastics laboratories, engineering colleges and institutions in India and international markets.
Is a calibration certificate available?
