GT-IZOD Impact Tester

Product Overview

The GT-IZOD Impact Tester (models GTIZ-5.5 and GTIZ-22) by Golden Time Technology Development Limited is a precision instrument designed to evaluate the impact resistance and toughness of materials, strictly adhering to ISO 180 and ASTM D 256 standards. This testing equipment is engineered to measure the energy required to break a standardized specimen under a single impact load, making it indispensable for quality control, material research, and product development in industries such as plastics, polymers, and composites.

Unlike conventional impact testers, the GT-IZOD series excels in distinguishing between brittle and ductile behaviors of materials, providing critical data for engineers and manufacturers to optimize material selection and structural design. By fixing specimens as vertical cantilevers and striking them with a calibrated pendulum, the tester delivers consistent results for both notched and unnotched samples, ensuring reliable comparisons across batches and material types. Whether used in automotive part production, packaging material testing, or polymer formulation labs, this instrument offers actionable insights to enhance product durability and performance.

Product Specifications

Design

User-Centric Operation Interface

At the core of the GT-IZOD Impact Tester is a 10-inch full-color touchscreen, which simplifies test setup and data management. Operators can quickly input specimen parameters (such as dimensions and material type), initiate tests with a single tap, and view real-time results, including impact energy and fracture patterns. The intuitive interface reduces training time for new users while minimizing operational errors, making it suitable for both laboratory technicians and production line staff.

Precision Pendulum Mechanism

The tester features a high-quality, traditionally designed pendulum that delivers consistent impact force across multiple tests. Its rigid structure ensures energy is concentrated at the impact point—aligned with the notch centerline for notched specimens—eliminating energy loss due to vibration or misalignment. This design guarantees repeatable results, with minimal variation between test runs, a critical factor for meeting strict industry quality standards.

Advanced Data Handling

Equipped with a USB interface, the instrument allows seamless export of test data to computers, enabling easy integration with quality management software. Test reports can be edited, stored, or printed directly, streamlining documentation processes for compliance audits. Additionally, the built-in memory stores historical test results, facilitating trend analysis and long-term material performance tracking.

Robust Construction

The tester’s frame is crafted from high-strength steel, ensuring stability during impact and resistance to wear over extended use. Its compact footprint (optimized for tabletop placement) saves laboratory space without compromising on structural integrity, making it ideal for facilities with limited area.
