This absorbed energy is a measure of a given materials notch toughness and acts as a tool to study temperaturedependent ductilebrittle transition. This may optionally be followed by a dash and the last two digits of the year in which the standard was adopted. Test method c is preferred over test method a for materials that have an izod impact resistance of less than 27 jm 0. Both tests are widely used and accepted in product literature. This test can be used as a quick and easy quality control check to determine if a material meets specific impact properties or to compare materials for general toughness. Shape and size of the specimen, mode of support, notch shape and geometry, and velocities at impact are all varied to produce specific test conditions. During the testing procedure, the test specimen is clamped into pendulum impact test fixture where the notched side is facing the striking edge of.
