Comprehensive Guide to ASTM D1822 Gardner Impact Test Laboratory Testing Services by Eurolab

The ASTM D1822 Gardner Impact Test is a widely recognized laboratory testing service used to determine the impact resistance of plastics and other materials. This test is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 180:2019 Plastics - Determination of Izod impact strength
  • ASTM D1822-14 Standard Test Method for Impact Resistance of Plastic Film by the Impact
  • EN ISO 179-1:2010 Plastics -- Determination of Charpy impact properties -- Part 1: Non-instrumented impact test
  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) ISO 180:2019 Plastics - Determination of Izod impact strength
  • These standards ensure that the testing service is conducted in a consistent and reliable manner, providing accurate results that can be used for various applications.

    Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

    Standard development organizations (SDOs) play a crucial role in developing and maintaining standards. The main SDOs involved in standardization activities are:

  • ASTM International (American Society for Testing and Materials)
  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization)
  • EN (European Committee for Standardization)
  • These organizations work together to develop, review, and update standards, ensuring that they remain relevant and effective.

    Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies and research become available. This may lead to updates or revisions of existing standards. For example:

  • ASTM D1822-14 was updated from ASTM D1822-08
  • ISO 180:2019 replaced the previous edition (ISO 180:2003)
  • These updates ensure that testing services remain accurate and reliable.

    Industry-Specific Requirements

    Different industries have specific requirements for impact testing. For example:

  • Medical devices require high impact resistance to ensure patient safety
  • Automotive components must withstand various environmental conditions, including impacts
  • Packaging materials need to be resistant to drops and other forms of impact
  • Conducting ASTM D1822 Gardner Impact Test testing helps manufacturers meet these industry-specific requirements.

    Consequences of Not Performing this Test

    Not performing the ASTM D1822 Gardner Impact Test can have severe consequences:

  • Product failure due to insufficient impact resistance
  • Liability for accidents or injuries caused by product failure
  • Loss of reputation and market share
  • Regular impact testing ensures that products are safe and reliable.

    Business and Technical Reasons for Conducting ASTM D1822 Gardner Impact Test Testing

  • The ASTM D1822 Gardner Impact Test is conducted using the following equipment and instruments:

  • Izod impact tester (e.g., Ceast Resil 25)
  • Specimen holder
  • Temperature control system (optional)
  • The test procedure involves:

    1. Sample preparation: Cutting specimens to the required dimensions

    2. Testing: Measuring the energy absorbed by the specimen when impacted by a pendulum

    3. Data analysis: Calculating the impact resistance based on the measured energy

    Testing Environment Requirements

    The testing environment should be controlled and maintained at:

  • Temperature: 23C 2C (73F 4F)
  • Humidity: 50 5
  • Pressure: 1013 mbar 10 mbar (1 atm 0.01 atm)
  • Sample Preparation Procedures

    Specimens must be prepared according to the relevant standard:

  • ASTM D1822-14 specifies specimen dimensions and preparation procedures
  • Testing Parameters and Conditions

    The testing parameters are:

  • Pendulum weight: 7.5 kg 0.1 kg (16.53 lb 0.22 lb)
  • Impact velocity: 3.65 m/s 0.02 m/s (12 ft/s 0.07 ft/s)
  • Measurement and Analysis Methods

    The impact resistance is calculated using the following formula:

    Izod impact strength Energy absorbed by specimen / Specimen thickness

    Calibration and Validation Procedures

    Equipment must be calibrated and validated according to the manufacturers instructions:

  • Regular calibration checks ensure accurate results
  • Validation procedures verify equipment performance against standards
  • Quality Control Measures During Testing

    Regular quality control measures are essential during testing:

  • Visual inspection of specimens before testing
  • Verification of test conditions (temperature, humidity, pressure)
  • Documentation of test results and analysis
  • Data Collection and Recording Procedures

    Test data is collected using a data acquisition system:

  • Results are recorded and stored for future reference
  • Statistical analysis ensures accurate interpretation of results
  • Turnaround Time and Efficiency Advantages
