Impact Testing Machine in South Africa

Charpy & Izod Impact Tester Supplier for South Africa

MCS Mechatronic manufactures pendulum-type Charpy and Izod impact testing machines in Kolhapur, India, and supplies them to steel plants, pipe and welding fabricators, foundries and university labs in South Africa. The impact test shows how much energy a material absorbs before it fractures, which is a key acceptance test for steel plate, pipe, welds and castings.

South Africa has the most developed industrial base in Africa, with mining, automotive manufacturing, steel production, power generation and a large lifting-equipment sector. SANAS-accredited labs, OEM supplier requirements and mining safety rules keep demand for precise, traceable material testing high. Toughness requirements in steel, pipeline and structural specifications make an impact tester a standard item in every metallurgy lab.

Impact Tester Applications in South Africa

Our machines are used by mining houses, automotive OEMs and component suppliers, steel producers, lifting-gear makers, power utilities, SANAS-accredited labs and universities. Typical South African applications include:

Steel plate and structural steel

Charpy V-notch toughness for mill certificates

Pipe and pipeline welding

Weld and heat-affected zone toughness in procedure qualification

Foundries and forgings

Toughness checks on castings and forged parts

Pressure vessel fabrication

Impact tests required by vessel and boiler codes

Plastics and polymers

Low-energy Izod and Charpy tests with the 5 J and 15 J models

Universities and colleges

Strength of materials laboratories

Testing Standards Supported

MCS pendulum impact testers conform to BS 131 Part IV, and the MIT-30 (ASTM) model is built for Charpy tests to ASTM E23, the method used in most steel, pipe and welding specifications.

In South Africa, product conformity is overseen by SABS (South African Bureau of Standards), and laboratories that issue accredited reports work under SANAS (South African National Accreditation System). The digital MIT-30 E gives a direct energy reading with a printer interface, so every result can be recorded for your lab files and customer certificates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you export impact testing machines to South Africa?

Yes. MCS Mechatronic manufactures Charpy and Izod impact testing machines in Kolhapur, India, and exports them to South Africa through ports such as Port of Durban and Port of Cape Town.

Can one machine perform both Charpy and Izod tests?

Yes. The MIT-30 and MIT-30 E come with two strikers and a combined support, and changing from Charpy to Izod only needs the striker to be swapped. The MIT-30 (ASTM) model is dedicated to Charpy tests.

Which impact tester suits ASTM E23 Charpy testing?

The MIT-30 (ASTM) 300 J model is built for Charpy tests to ASTM E23 and is checked geometrically at our works.

Do you have impact testers for plastics?

Yes. The MIT-1.5 (15 J) and MIT-0.5 (5 J) low-energy models suit plastics and other light materials.

Can MCS machines support testing in SANAS-accredited labs?

Accredited labs in South Africa work to ISO and ASTM methods under SANAS. MCS impact testers conform to BS 131 Part IV, and the MIT-30 (ASTM) model to ASTM E23, and the digital model's printed results can be filed for your SABS or client records. Machines can be verified on site by your accredited calibration provider after delivery.

Can the machine run on the power supply used in South Africa?

The supply voltage depends on the model. South Africa's three-phase supply is 400 V at 50 Hz, so please mention your site voltage and frequency in your enquiry so we can confirm the right electrical configuration.
