Sheffield Hallam University awarded a contract to Imatek Ltd for the supply of an Impact Testing Tower to enhance student experience by providing up-to-date technology and improving result accuracy.

The equipment, valued at AUD 209,000, is to be operational by September 2017 for inclusion in labs and student projects within the Structural Integrity Lab located in the Sheaf Building.

It will support undergraduate, post-graduate, research, consultancy, and final year student projects, ranging from Charpy tests at different temperatures to hockey helmets and shin pads, and may also support Composites and Engineering labs involving high strain impact tests.

The equipment expands and enhances present capabilities and provides alternative testing methods to Pendulum Impact, which has limited capability.
