Instron® Announces Its Dynatup(TM) 9250 Impact Tester



Instron®, a leading provider of testing equipment designed to evaluate mechanical properties of materials and components, announces the Dynatup(TM) 9250, an impact testing instrument designed to measure energy absorption and related impact properties of polymers, metals, composites and resulting final components. It is ideally suited for use in aerospace, automotive, biomedical and packaging market applications.

The Dynatup 9250 drop tower features complete computer control, with impact velocities of up to 20 m/s for rigorous testing in the fields of R&D and quality control. Unlike most competing instruments, the Dynatup 9250 captures, plots and analyzes the entire impact event, enabling the user to determine important characteristics such as incipient damage, ductile-to-brittle transition point, maximum load, and total energy absorbed. In addition, Instron's Dynatup 9250 has the capacity to test materials in extreme temperatures and harsh environments. To streamline control, data acquisition, and analysis of the impact event, the Dynatup 9250 utilizes Impulse®, a complete software and electronics package designed specifically for impact testing.
