Model: P0003 and P0007

This tall instrument performs a vertical impact test on a complete, filled transport package by dropping.

The test may be performed either as a single test to investigate the vertical impact or as a part of a sequence of tests designed to measure the ability of a package to withstand a distribution system that includes a vertical impact hazard.

The Precision Drop Tester has an open construction arrangement, which does not restrict the test sample geometry. The Drop Tester lifts the package in such a way so as not to cause damage to the operator or package.
