Falling Weight Impact Tester

The GT-FWI-630 Falling Weight Impact Tester is designed to evaluate the resistance of thermoplastic pipes with a circular cross-section to external blows. It uses a specified mass and shape striker dropped from a known height to test the impact resistance of pipes. This device helps estimate the true impact rate of a production batch, ensuring that the pipes meet the required durability standards.
