Supports, Tup Holders and Inserts

How Interchangeable Supports, Tup Holders and Inserts of a Drop Weight Impact Tester Work

Various sizes and capacities of the tups and inserts can be fitted and changed. These accessories are available for many applications including puncture, compression after impact (CAI), tensile impact, and wedge peel testing.


Supports




Test supports, a key component of the 9400 Series Drop Weight Testers, are designed to test to a wide range of standards, components, and products. The support set includes a stand, where the specimen rests, and clamping mechanisms that push the specimen against the stand and hold it securely in place during an impact test.

Supports can be custom designed to test a wide variety of uniquely sized parts and components. Please ask about options for your application.

Tup Holders




It joins mechanically the tup to the recovery/release system. One or more weights can be added to it to increase the impact mass. The tup holder is one of three different types: Light (for masses from 2 to 5 kg, tup included), Standard (for masses from 5 to 70 kg tup included) or Reinforced (same as Standard but used only with 222 kN tup).

A range of tup holders and additional weight sets are available for the 9400 Series Drop Weight Testers. Used to tailor the energy requirements to meet your needs, they reduce the minimum energy or add to the maximum energy available.

Tups and Inserts


Tups and Inserts
The Tup is used to impact the specimen surface when the impact test is carried out. This mechanical component comes in diverse shapes, sizes, and weights. Interchangeable inserts (the head of the tup) complete the tup configuration and their shapes can be according to international standards or customized designs. The required capacity is dependent on the application and based on the expected maximum load, not the machine’s energy capacity.

Instrumented tups are designed with either a strain gauge or piezoelectric sensor embedded in the tup insert. These devices capture the impact and transform it into an electric signal, which is collected by a data acquisition system so the user can see a picture of the impact

Strain Gauge or Piezoelectric
Tups with Strain Gauge Sensor or Piezoelectric Sensor are chosen depending from the material type. Typically Strain gauge sensors are recommended for impact testing of materials that are made from composites, fail in a ductile mode, and are anticipated to have load values more than 5 kN (1124 lbs). Piezoelectric sensors are ideal when testing fairly brittle or light-load materials, such as thin films.

Safe Icon

Instron 9450 Tup anti-rebound system (option):
it stops the tup after impact to avoid a secondary impact on the specimen. This system only intervenes when the tup rebounds a minimum of 25 mm (1 inch) or higher.  
Drip Icon

Instron 9450 Tup lubricating and cleaning device (option):
it is used to lubricate the tup insert prior to testing. It is a small oil tank with a pneumatic cylinder equipped with a sprayer on its end to lubricate the insert. It is also equipped with a nozzle so a jet of compressed air can be used to remove any residual debris from the insert. 





Puncture Impact Test Supports




Clamping plates for the Instron 9440 and 9450 use a pneumatic system to push the sample against the test stand, holding it securely in place during the4 impact test. Customized plates are available upon request.

Compression After Impact (CAI) Test Supports




Compression After Impact (CAI) testing is common for composite materials and standards including Boeing BMS-7260, SACMA 2R-94, ASTM D7136/M, and Airbus AITM 1.0010.

The fixture and insert varies for each test, and the crosshead weight is very important. The anti-rebound system is required for all standards, while a tup and insert are required to complete the configuration and must be chosen based on the expected maximum load.

Tensile Impact Test Supports




This instrumented vice is designed to meet ISO 8256 A for tensile impact tests. The fixture is suitable for specimen types 1-2-3-4-5 and equivalents, and includes fixed-height vice supports. The complete fixture requires the selection of a piezoelectric force sensor, a clamping device, and a vice.

Adhesive Peel Impact Test Supports




The adhesive peel impact test is an ISO test method used to measure the resistance of structural adhesives to cleavage fracture at various temperatures and test speeds of 2 and 3 m/s. This common test is used in both the development of new adhesives and the quality control of product batches.
