Description

Dart Impact Tester for Plastic Films

The Dart Impact Tester evaluates the impact resistance of plastic films by dropping a dart onto a clamped specimen from a specified height.

The impact applied to the specimen depends on the dart mass and drop height. Different test methods use different dart head diameters, dart masses, and test conditions.

The instrument has an electromagnetic dart hold-and-release mechanism and an adjustable drop height. A circular annular clamping mechanism holds the specimen during testing.

The instrument is equipped with a digital LED display for test operation and result indication.

The Dart Impact Tester conforms to the following test standards according to the specified product configuration:

  • IS 2508:1984 (R2003)
  • ASTM D1709-16A

Working Principle of Dart Impact Tester

The Dart Impact Tester determines the impact resistance of a plastic film or flexible packaging specimen by releasing a weighted dart from a specified height.

To perform the test:

  1. Place the plastic film specimen over the test opening.
  2. Secure the specimen using the circular annular clamping mechanism.
  3. Select the required dart and test height according to the applicable test method.
  4. Position the dart at the specified drop height.
  5. Release the dart using the electromagnetic hold-and-release mechanism.
  6. Examine the specimen for failure after impact.
  7. Record the test result according to the applicable test method.

The instrument provides controlled dart release and adjustable drop height to maintain consistent test conditions.

Hasmukh Chudgar

This is an awesome machine that is easy to operate and user-friendly.

Lokesh Jain

The dart impact tester gave safe operation and being an automatic device, gave a sense of assurance that I don’t have to interfere much in the tester’s functionality. The instrument has a hemispherical head and is held by a strong electromagnetic dart holder, which perfectly carries out the rupturing test. I used it for plastic sheets whereas this can be used to test corrugated paper, carton boards, fibre boards, etc. Since the dart impact tester adheres to all ISO and ASTM standards, it gives value for quality and money both.
