Format: PDFDocument Scope1.1 This test method establishes the requirements for performing
instrumented Charpy V-Notch (CVN) and instrumented
Miniaturized Charpy V-Notch (MCVN) impact tests on
metallic materials. This method, which is based on experience
developed testing steels, provides further information (in
addition to the total absorbed energy) on the fracture behavior
of the tested materials. Minimum requirements are given for
measurement and recording equipment such that similar sensitivity
and comparable total absorbed energy measurements to
those obtained in Test Methods E23 and E2248 are achieved.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as
standard. No other units of measurement are included in this
standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate
safety and health practices and determine the applicability
of regulatory limitations prior to use.
