This test method primarily determines the tensile impact strength of plastics under high deformation rates. It is specifically designed for plastic materials that are too soft or thin to be tested using Charpy or Izod impact tests, and it is also applicable to rigid plastics. The core principle of this method involves using a pendulum impact to rapidly fracture the specimen in the tensile direction, thereby measuring the energy required for fracture. The execution of this method requires a dedicated pendulum-type tensile impact testing machine, typically with an impact speed specified at 3.8 m/s, and equipped with pendulums of different energy levels (e.g., 15 J, 25 J) to meet the testing needs of various materials.
