Comprehensive Guide to SAE J211 Impact Testing Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

SAE J211 Impact Testing is a widely recognized standard for evaluating the impact resistance of various materials, including plastics, metals, and composites. This testing method is governed by international and national standards, which ensure consistency and accuracy in results.

International Standards

  • ISO 179:2019 - Plastics -- Determination of the Charpy impact properties

  • ASTM D6110-15 - Standard Test Method for Notched Bar Impact Resistance of Plastics

  • EN ISO 13803:2004 - Metallic materials Uniaxial tensile testing in extension, tension and compression

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) 2342 - Determination of impact resistance of plastics

    • National Standards

  • US Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations for impact testing of automotive components

  • European Unions (EU) regulatory requirements for impact testing of materials used in consumer products

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), and the Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) are prominent standard development organizations.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve as new technologies emerge, and existing ones get updated to reflect changes in industry practices. For example, ISO 179:2019 is the latest version of the Charpy impact test standard, which includes improvements in specimen preparation and testing procedures.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Industry-specific requirements for SAE J211 Impact Testing vary depending on the sector. Automotive manufacturers must comply with DOT regulations, while EU consumer product manufacturers need to adhere to EU regulatory standards.

    SAE J211 Impact Testing is a critical requirement in various industries, including:

    Business and Technical Reasons for Conducting SAE J211 Impact Testing

  • Ensures product safety and reliability

  • Complies with industry-specific regulations

  • Validates material performance under impact conditions

  • Helps predict product behavior under real-world scenarios

    • Consequences of Not Performing this Test

    Failure to conduct SAE J211 Impact Testing can result in:

  • Product recalls due to safety concerns

  • Loss of market share and revenue

  • Regulatory fines and penalties

  • Damage to brand reputation

    • The following steps outline the process for conducting SAE J211 Impact Testing:

    Equipment and Instruments Used

  • Impact testing machine (Charpy or Izod type)

  • Specimen holder

  • Temperature control system (optional)

    • Testing Environment Requirements

  • Controlled temperature range (typically between -20C to 50C)

  • Humidity level below 60

  • Ambient pressure and no vibrations

    • Sample Preparation Procedures

    1. Prepare the specimen according to ISO 179:2019 or ASTM D6110-15

    2. Clean and dry the specimen before testing

    Testing Parameters and Conditions

  • Temperature range (typically between -20C to 50C)

  • Striking velocity (typically around 4 m/s)

  • Specimen size and geometry (dependent on standard requirements)

    • Measurement and Analysis Methods

    1. Record the impact energy and force

    2. Calculate the Charpy impact value (CIV) or Notched Bar Impact Resistance (NBIR) value

    SAE J211 Impact Testing reports typically include:

    Report Format and Structure

  • Introduction to the testing standard and methodology used

  • Test conditions, including temperature, humidity, and striking velocity
