ASTM F1920 Impact Testing: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

The ASTM F1920 Impact Testing is a widely recognized standard for determining the impact resistance of various materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. This testing service is governed by several international and national standards, including ISO 148, EN 10002, TSE 1475, and others.

ISO 148:2018 - Metallic materials - Impact tests of bars and rods

  • Scope: This standard specifies the requirements for impact testing of metallic bars and rods to determine their resistance to impact.
  • Principle: The test involves striking a sample with a pendulum at a specified angle and velocity, causing it to break or deform. The energy absorbed by the sample is then measured.
  • EN 10002-1:2018 - Metallic materials - Tensile testing - Part 1: Method of test

  • Scope: This standard specifies the requirements for tensile testing of metallic materials.
  • Principle: The test involves stretching a sample until it breaks, measuring the force and deformation at various points during the test.
  • TSE 1475:2019 - Metallic materials - Impact tests of bars and rods

  • Scope: This standard specifies the requirements for impact testing of metallic bars and rods to determine their resistance to impact.
  • Principle: The test involves striking a sample with a pendulum at a specified angle and velocity, causing it to break or deform. The energy absorbed by the sample is then measured.
  • Standard Development Organizations (SDOs)

    Several SDOs contribute to the development of standards related to ASTM F1920 Impact Testing. These organizations include:

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)
  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)
  • Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies, materials, and testing methods emerge. This requires periodic updates to ensure that the standards remain relevant and accurate.
