It is designed to test impact resistance of common thermoplastics including polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and polystyrene (PS).
The HY4252D is designed to meet ISO 20126 requirements for Izod impact testing. For other regional or industry standards (for example ASTM), verify test parameters and specimen preparation against those standards or consult the supplier.
There are two model variants: HY4252DA offers selectable impact energies of 2.75 J and 5.5 J; HY4252DB offers 11 J and 22 J. Choose the model that fits the expected toughness range of your materials.
Impact velocity is 3.5 m/s, the pendulum angle is 150°, and the impact center distance (pendulum swing radius) is 335 mm.
Dimensions: 700 × 350 × 850 mm; Weight: 120 kg; Power supply: AC 220 V, 50 Hz.
The tester is intended for standard Izod notched specimens per the applicable test standard (ISO 20126 or equivalent). Exact specimen dimensions and notch geometry should be prepared according to the standard you are using; consult the ISO document or the manufacturer for recommended fixture/ specimen details.
Select an energy that bracket the expected toughness of your samples: use lower energies for brittle materials and higher energies for tougher specimens. If uncertain, run preliminary tests starting at the lower energy and increase as needed. Use a model (A or B) whose maximum energy exceeds the anticipated absorbed energy to avoid pendulum overrun.
The HY4252D is a digital Izod impact tester and provides digital measurement readouts. For details on data export formats, connectivity (USB/RS232/Ethernet) or software integration, contact the supplier or consult the product manual.
Always secure the specimen correctly, keep guards and safety interlocks in place, stand clear of the pendulum arc during operation, disconnect power before maintenance, and ensure only trained personnel operate the machine. Follow lab safety procedures and the operator manual.
The unit is packed in an export-standard wooden case for safe delivery. Store the tester in a dry, vibration-free environment and keep the wooden case if long-term transport or storage is anticipated.
Perform daily inspections for cleanliness and damage, keep pivot and moving parts lubricated as specified in the manual, and check anvils/striking edge condition. Arrange periodic calibration and verification according to your quality system—typically annual calibration by qualified service or sooner if accuracy is critical or after heavy use.
Common accessories include additional pendulums (different energy capacities), anvils/fixtures for specimen clamping, notching tools, replacement striking edges, and calibration weights or certificates. Contact Anytester or an authorized distributor for specific parts and compatibility.
Typical applications include quality control, R&D and incoming inspection in plastics manufacturing, automotive components, packaging materials, consumer goods and any industry where material toughness and impact resistance are important.
Warranty, service plans and technical support are provided by the manufacturer or authorized distributors. Contact Anytester or your regional supplier for warranty terms, service agreements, calibration services and spare parts availability.
Yes — the tester accommodates standard Izod notched specimens per the test standard, but the exact allowable thicknesses and notch configurations depend on the standard and fixtures used. Confirm permitted specimen geometries with the operator manual or the manufacturer before testing.
