Side View
The Drop Weight Tear Tester (DWTT) evaluates fracture resistance in ferritic steels used for pipelines and pressure vessels. By subjecting notched specimens to controlled impact, it determines a material's resistance to brittle fracture propagation. Available in standard, high-capacity, and low-temperature configurations with impact energies from 20,000J to 100,000J.
Product Variants
- Standard DWTT: For routine drop weight tear testing operations
- High-Capacity DWTT: Enhanced impact energy for thicker materials
- Low-Temperature DWTT: Integrated cooling system for testing down to -100°C
