1. Function and Application
The Cold Impact Tester is designed to evaluate the impact resistance of materials at low temperatures. It is used in conjunction with a cold chamber to simulate extreme environmental conditions.
The tester consists of a stainless steel guide tube, a stainless steel drop weight (tup), and an aluminum support structure. Once the specimen has been soaked to the desired cold temperature, the impactor is released down the guide tube to perform the test.
This tester is ideal for automotive, aerospace, and materials testing laboratories that need to validate cold temperature performance of plastics, glass, composites, and other materials.
2. Applicable Test Standards
Chrysler Cold Impact Testing – LP463KB-28-01 Method B
Automotive Cold Impact Protocols – OEM-specific cold impact requirements
Custom Laboratory Standards – Configurable based on test material and temperature range
