Testing Principle
This testing method applies a drop hammer of standard-defined mass and dimension to strike designated positions of test specimens from calibrated falling heights. It determines the true impact rate (TIR) of finished products, with maximum permissible TIR value for qualified products set at 10%. By adjusting hammer mass or falling height, the system adapts to diverse technical specifications of various pipe products.
Packing and Shipping
All units are packed within robust wooden cases containing the main testing unit, operation manuals, spare components and auxiliary fittings. Complete international shipping documentation including commercial invoices and packing slips is provided. Final freight charges are calculated based on delivery destination and selected shipping mode.
