BS EN ISO 148-2:2016 covers the verification of pendulum-type impact testing machines, in terms of their
constructional elements, their overall performance and the accuracy of the results they produce. It is
applicable to machines with 2 mm or 8 mm strikers used for pendulum impact tests carried out, for
instance, in accordance with ISO 148-1.It can be applied to pendulum impact testing machines of various capacities and of different design.Impact machines used for industrial, general or research laboratory testing of metallic materials in
accordance with this part of ISO 148 are referred to as industrial machines. Those with more stringent
requirements are referred to as reference machines. Specifications for the verification of reference
machines are found in ISO 148-3.This part of ISO 148 describes two methods of verification.The direct method, which is static in nature, involves measurement of the critical parts of the
machine to ensure that it meets the requirements of this part of ISO 148. Instruments used for the
verification and calibration are traceable to national or international standards.The indirect method, which is dynamic in nature, uses reference test pieces to verify points on the
measuring scale for absorbed energy. The requirements for the reference test pieces are found in
ISO 148-3.A pendulum impact testing machine is not in compliance with this part of ISO 148 until it has been
verified by both the direct and indirect methods and meets the requirements of Clause 6 and Clause 7.This part of ISO 148 describes how to assess the different components of the total energy absorbed in
fracturing a test piece. This total absorbed energy consists ofthe energy needed to fracture the test piece itself, andthe internal energy losses of the pendulum impact testing machine performing the first half-cycle
swing from the initial position.NOTE Internal energy losses are due to the following:air resistance, friction of the bearings of the rotation axis and of the indicating pointer of the pendulum which
can be determined by the direct method (see 6.4.5);shock of the foundation, vibration of the frame and pendulum for which no suitable measuring methods and
apparatus have been developed.Cross References:ISO 148-1ISO 148-3ISO/IEC 98-3JCGM 106All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
