CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST


CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST

Object: To determine the amount of energy absorbed in fracturing a standardized test piece at a specified temperature.

Method: A machined, notched specimen is broken by one blow from a pendulum. Because scatter occurs in the results, at least three specimens are used to assess the joint represented. Testing is carried out at a temperature specified in the appropriate application standard.

CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST
Reporting Results:
  1. Location and orientation of the notch. 
  2. Testing temperature.
  3. Energy absorbed in joules. 
  4. Description of fracture appearance.
  5. Location of any defects.
CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST

The Charpy impact test, measured in joules, is an assessment of TOUGHNESS. Transition temperature (curve) in steel.

Part -5 Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions with answer 1. Why the Centrifugal Pump is called High Discharge pump? Ans. Centrifugal pump is a kinetic device. The centrifugal pump uses the centrifugal force to push out the fluid. So the liquid entering the pump receives kinetic energy from the rotating impeller. The centrifugal action of the impeller accelerates the liquid to a high velocity, transferring mechanical (rotational) energy to the liquid. So it discharges the liquid in high rate. It is given in the following formulae: Centrifugal force F= (M*V2)/R. Where, M-Mass V-Velocity R-Radius 2. How Cavitation can be eliminated by Pump? Ans. Cavitation means bubbles are forming in the liquid. To avoid Cavitation, we have to increase the Pump size to One or Two Inch To increase the pressure of the Suction Head  Decrease the Pump Speed. 3. Why Cavitation will occur in Centrifugal Pump and not in Displacement Pump? Ans. The form...

Part -1 Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions with answer

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions 1. What is the importance of the Thermodynamics in the field of Mechanical Engineering? All the mechanical engineering systems are studied with the help of thermodynamics. Hence it is very important for the mechanical engineers. 2. How many Laws of Thermodynamics are there? There are three laws of the thermodynamics. First Law : Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. It can only change forms.In any process in an isolated system, the total energy remains the same. Second Law : When two isolated systems in separate but nearby regions of space, each in thermodynamic equilibrium in itself, but not in equilibrium with each other at first, are at some time allowed to interact, breaking the isolation that separates the two systems, and they exchange matter or energy, they will eventually reach a mutual thermodynamic equilibrium. The sum of the entropy's of the initial, isolated systems is less than or equal to the entropy of the ...

Part -3 Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions

Most commonly asked Mechanical Interview Questions with answer 1. What is the difference between Technology and Engineering? Ans. Engineering is application of science. Technology shows various methods of Engineering. A bridge can be made by using beams to bear the load,by an arc or by hanging in a cable; all shows different technology but comes under civil engineering and science applied is laws of force/load distribution. 2. How to Measure Temperature in Wet Bulb Thermometer? Ans. Wet bulb temperature is measured in a wet bulb thermometer by covering the bulb with a wick and wetting it with water. It corresponds to the dew point temperature and relative humidity. 3. What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of using LPG in Car? Ans. Advantages 1. Complete combustion 2. Fuel saving 3. Homogenous combustion Disadvantages 1. As complete combustion is occurring ,more heat liberated,not advised for long journey, engine will be over heated 2. In...
