The characteristics of the Charpy hammers differ between the test standards as shown in the table above. In ISO and JIS standards, the hammer length changes according to the impact velocity. Therefore, the same hammer cannot be used to create, for example, a 4 J impact and 7.5 J impact. Two different hammers must be prepared.

The same hammer is sometimes used between ISO (or JIS) and ASTM impact tests as the details of the hammers specified in the two standards are similar. However, to be precise, the shape of the striking edge differs between the standards as shown in the above image. Therefore, to conform to the test standards, hammers that match the test standard shall be used.

Anvil

Charpy Anvil
Symbol Parameter ISO/JIS ASTM
ー Parallelism between long axis of test sample and reference plane ±4/1000 ー
R2 Radius of curvature of anvils 1±0.1 mm 3.17±0.12 mm
θ2 Angle of taper of anvils 10±1 ° 0
θ3 Angle of slope of anvils 5±1 ° 0
ー Angle of supports and anvils 90±0.1 ° 90°
L Span between sample supports 62±(0.5/0) mm 101.6±0.5 mm

The shape of the anvil differs between ISO (or JIS) and ASTM standards. Therefore, to perform both ISO and ASTM standardized tests, two different anvils shall be prepared.

Izod Anvil
Symbol Parameter ISO/JIS ASTM
ー Sample angle 90±2 ° ー
ー Parallelism with face of reference sample ±0.025 mm ー
P2 Horizontality of top surface of vise ±3/1000 ー
θ2 Angle between support block and top surface of vise 90±0.5 ° ー
P3 Parallelism in horizontal and vertical direction ±0.05 mm ー
R2 Top edge radius of support 0.2±0.1 mm 0.25±0.12 mm

In strict terms the anvil shapes differ between ISO (JIS) and ASTM standards, but are sometimes used mutually as the differences are minor.
