1 Scope
This document specifies a method of instrumented Charpy V-notch pendulum impact testing
on metallic materials and the requirements concerning the measurement and recording
equipment.
With respect to the Charpy pendulum impact test described in ISO 148‑1, this test provides further information on the fracture behaviour of the product
under impact testing conditions.
The results of instrumented Charpy test analyses are not directly transferable to
structures or components and shall not be directly used in design calculations or
safety assessments.
NOTE General information about instrumented impact testing can be found in References [1] to [5].
