ASTM D6110 Charpy Impact Resistance of Notched Specimens of Plastics
ASTM D6110 is a test method that determines the Charpy impact resistance of notched specimens of plastics. The test is used to measure the energy required to fracture a notched specimen under high strain rates.
GET STARTED
Introduction to ASTM D6110
ASTM D6110 is a test method designed to measure the impact resistance of notched specimens of plastics. The test involves striking a notched specimen with a pendulum, and measuring the energy required to fracture the specimen under high strain rates. This method is particularly useful for determining the toughness of plastics under dynamic loading conditions, and is widely used in the plastics industry for quality control and research purposes.
The results obtained through this method are especially used for reliability check, performance evaluation, and specification purposes. The final values of the procedure are stated in standard units of SI.
ASTM D6110 Test Method
The test method ASTM D6110 involves striking a notched specimen with a pendulum in order to measure the energy required to fracture the specimen under high strain rates. The test is performed at a temperature of 23°C (73°F) unless otherwise specified. The method proceeds as follows:
Sample Preparation
The first step involves preparing the test specimens. These specimens are rectangular in shape and are cut from the sheet or molded parts of the plastic material. The specimens are then machined with a V-notch, which has a depth of 2 mm and an included angle of 45 degrees.
Testing
The second step involves conducting the actual impact test. The test specimens are placed in the clamps of the Charpy impact testing machine. The machine then releases a pendulum, which swings down and strikes the V-notch on the test specimen. The amount of energy absorbed by the specimen during the impact is recorded by the machine. At least ten specimens are tested to determine the average impact energy and the standard deviation.
ASTM D6110 Specimens
Specimen details
ASTM D6110 test specimens are rectangular in shape. The specimens are ensured to be free of surface defects or cracks that may affect the test results.
Specimen dimensions
The acceptable specimen length for ASTM D6110 is 80 mm (3.15 in), a width of 10 mm (0.4 in), and a thickness of 4 mm (0.16 in).
Specimen preparation
The specimen is cut from the material using a cutting machine or a saw. The edges of the specimen are made to be smooth and free of burrs.
ASTM D6110 Results
The results of the ASTM D6110 test are reported in terms of the energy required to fracture the specimen, measured in joules or foot-pounds. The test results are used to determine the toughness of the plastic material under dynamic loading conditions, and are compared to the values of other materials or to the same material under different conditions.
Tests related to ASTM D6110
ASTM D256 is a test method that measures the impact resistance of plastics using a pendulum impact machine. This method is similar to ASTM D6110, but involves testing an un-notched specimen rather than a notched specimen. ASTM D638 is a test method that measures the tensile properties of plastics, including tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus of elasticity. This method is often used in conjunction with impact resistance tests such as ASTM D6110 to fully characterize the mechanical properties of plastic materials.
