Precise Impacts Tailored for Any Test Required

Direct impact and momentum transfer tests fall outside of most conventional Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar methods. Our Direct Impact System can be configured in a variety of ways to meet the exacting requirements for generating impact events. The bar accelerator, speed sensor, camera integration, and test setups mounted on the REL Flat Base open the possibilities for complex and dynamic test setups. Direct Impact, Momentum Transfer, 3-Point Bend Testing, Dynamic Pipe Burst Testing, Sled Impact, Simulated Drop Tests, 50kG inertia loading, and Battery Pierce Testing are just a few examples of tests this HSRT System can handle.
