Dart Impact Tester

A Dart Impact Tester, also known as a Falling Dart Impact Tester or Drop Dart Impact Tester, is an innovative device designed to assess the impact resistance of materials like plastic films, sheets, and laminated products. By dropping a steel dart from a specified height and measuring the energy required to rupture the material, this tester provides crucial data on the material's resilience to impact.

How It Works
The Dart Impact Tester operates by securing a sample material on the device, followed by dropping a weighted dart from a predetermined height to impact the sample. This process measures the energy required to puncture or break the material, offering insights into its toughness and capacity to endure external stress.

Benefits of Dart Impact Testing

• Safety Assurance: Identifies product weaknesses, enhancing safety and reducing liabilities.
• Product Durability: Ensures products withstand real-world conditions, extending their lifespan.
• Compliance with Standards: Demonstrates adherence to international quality standards.
• Cost Savings: Early detection of vulnerabilities reduces long-term expenses.

Applications in Industries
This tester is indispensable in packaging, automotive, and construction sectors, ensuring materials like plastic films and laminated sheets meet the required impact resistance levels for safety and durability during transportation and use.

The Dart Impact Tester by Pacorr emerges as a vital tool in the realm of material testing, offering unmatched insights into material durability and impact resistance. Its ability to ensure safety, comply with global standards, and enhance product longevity makes it an indispensable asset across multiple industries. As technology advances, the significance of Dart Impact Testing only grows, promising even more accurate and reliable assessments in the future.

Plastic packaging film is used by a wide variety of packaging industries due to its durable nature, flexibility in stretching and higher impact resistance.  As they have maximum use and are utilized by many industries for wrapping up their sensitive products or used in household routines, they tend to experience a lot of wear & tear during their use. The films must be resistant enough to avoid cracks of bursting easily against a sudden impact. The most concerning situation encountered by plastic film manufacturers is a vertical free fall of load taken by the plastic film. Such a scenario can lead to the bursting of films and result in a damaged product.

However, one can avoid such product failure by conducting standard-based quality tests. To evaluate the impact resistance strength the user must perform Falling Dart Impact Test.

The Dart Impact Tester uses a single dart configuration to perform the test. It is a sturdily designed machine that conforms to international testing standards. This ensures that the test results are accepted globally and in a wide spectrum of industries. The specimen holding clamps are adjustable and allow a variety of specimens to get tested. The dart has a defined weight as per test standards. The dart holder works on a pneumatically managed electromagnetic technique. It allows a stronghold of the dart and quick release during the test. The fall height can be adjusted based on the requirements. The counties of tests performed are recorded on a digital counter. The evaluation reports can be used either as a quality monitoring result or for final use comparisons.
