The Dart Impact Tester is used to determine the impact resistance of plastic films, sheets, and flexible packaging materials. The instrument measures the resistance of a specimen to a falling dart under specified test conditions.
The test uses a dart with a specified mass and drop height. The dart is released onto the specimen, and the specimen is evaluated for failure. The test helps manufacturers assess the impact resistance of plastic films and packaging materials.
Testronix Instruments manufactures and supplies Dart Impact Testers in India for testing applications in the plastic film, packaging, and flexible material industries.

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:
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.

The Dart Impact Tester is specified for testing according to:
The applicable dart, drop height, and test procedure should be selected according to the relevant test method.
A Dart Impact Tester is used to determine the impact resistance of plastic films, sheets, and flexible packaging materials. The test evaluates how a specimen responds when impacted by a falling dart under specified conditions.
A Dart Impact Tester evaluates the resistance of a specimen to impact from a falling dart. The test result is determined according to the applicable test method and specified dart mass, drop height, and failure criteria.
The specimen is clamped over the test opening, and a weighted dart is released from a specified height. The specimen is then examined for failure according to the applicable test method.
The Dart Impact Tester is specified for IS 2508:1984 (R2003) and ASTM D1709-16A according to the supplied product configuration.
The specified dart head diameters are 38 mm for Method A and 50 mm for Method B.
The specified drop heights are 660 mm and 1524 mm. The drop height is adjustable according to the test requirement.
The maximum dart holding capacity of the dart holding mechanism is 2 kg.
The instrument is used for impact testing of plastic films, flexible packaging materials, plastic sheets, and other applicable flexible materials.
The Dart Impact Tester price in India typically ranges from INR 50,000 to INR 2,00,000, depending on the model, test configuration, features, and manufacturer.
