ISO 3127 Plastics Pipe falling weight impact test

ISO 3127 Thermoplastics pipes -- Determination of resistance to external blows -- Round-the-clock method
ISO 3127 specifies a method for the determination of the resistance to external blows of thermoplastics pipes of circular cross-section; it is called the round-the-clock method. 

It is applicable to isolated batches of pipe tested at 0 °C (information is also given for sampling from the continuous production of pipe).

Test pieces are subjected to blows from a falling striker, of specified mass and shape, dropped from a known height onto specified positions around the circumference of the test piece. The true impact rate of the batch, or production run from an extruder, is estimated.
Commonly the impact height 2000mm, impact hammer 6.3kg, 9.1kg, 13.6kg.


ASTM D2444 Pipe falling weight impact test standard

ASTM D2444 test method covers the determination of the impact resistance of thermoplastic pipe and fittings under specified conditions of impact by means of a tup (falling weight). This method is applicable to isolated batches of pipe tested at 0 °C (information is also given for sampling from the continuous production of pipe).

EN 1411 Staircase method impact resistance test of thermoplastics pipes using a drop-weight

EN 1411 specifies a standardized laboratory procedure to evaluate the impact toughness of thermoplastic pipes. Unlike pass/fail tests, this method statistically determines the H₅₀ value—the estimated height of fall that causes a 50% failure rate in a batch of pipes.


EN 744 for falling weight impact testing of thermoplastics pipes

EN 744 specifying the round-the-clock falling-weight impact method to evaluate the resistance to external blows of circular cross-section thermoplastics pipes. It's a standardized procedure to determine the ability of thermoplastic pipes to withstand external impacts without failing.


ASTM D5628 Falling Tup Impact Resistance Test of Rigid Plastics

ASTMD5628 specifies a falling‑dart/tup method to measure the threshold impact‑failure energy for flat rigid plastics. It uses the Bruceton Staircase (Up‑and‑Down) Method to determine the energy causing 50% of specimens to fail (mean‑failure energy, MFE).

ISO 6603-1 Rigid plastics falling dart puncture-impact test

ISO 6603-1 specifies falling-dart methods to measure the puncture‑impact performance of rigid plastics using only the 50% impact‑failure energy (E₅₀) threshold, without recording force–time or force–deflection curves.
