Dart Impact Tester

Product Description

Dart Impact Tester is used in paper, packaging & flexible films industries for calculating the impact of a free falling dart on a plastic film. The force at which the falling dart ruptures the plastic film under certain conditions is calculated. The impact on the films depends on the falling height of the dart and the weight of the dart.

The test can be conducted by various methods. The instrument also consists of a digital LED screen to provide the user with accurate results and to make the test operation easier.

The instrument is easy to operate and adheres to various test standards such as Standard: IS 2508:1984(R2003), ASTM D1709-16A.

Plastic film manufacturers must ensure that the film is resilient and strong enough to withstand the impact of any external forces. Hence the dart impact tester is the most suitable instrument to calculate the impact and force at which a particular weight can rupture the plastic film

Working principle of the dart impact tester

The lab testing instrument is a very vital product for the flexible paper & packaging industry as it aids the manufacturers in checking the impact force of flexible films & laminates. The working principle of the dart impact tester is extremely simple as it drops a dart on the specimen from different heights and measures if the flexible specimen can sustain the load or not.

The instrument derives accuracy because of the provision of dart made up of steel, allowing the manufacturer to test the quality of materials more effectively.
