This time I’m testing a Chinese digital impact tester that can perform both IZOD and Charpy tests according to ISO standards. I’ll show how it works, how to switch between the two configurations, and compare it with my older DIY and analog tester. I’ll also check how the data can be saved digitally to a USB drive and what I plan for my own DIY impact tester in the future.
