GB/T 229-2007 in English

《GB/T 229-2007金属材料 夏比摆锤冲击试验方法》由TC183（全国钢标准化技术委员会）归口，TC183SC4（全国钢标准化技术委员会力学及工艺性能试验方法分会）执行，主管部门为中国钢铁工业协会。
本标准规定了测定金属材料在夏比冲击试验中吸收能量的方法，包括V型缺口和U型缺口。

1 Scope
This national standard specifies the method to measure the absorbed energy of metallic material in Charpy impact test (V-nick and U-nick samples).
The standard does not refer to the instrumented compact test method. The instrumented compact test method is specified in GB/T 19748-2005 "Steel - Charpy V-notch Pendulum Impact Test - Instrumented Test Method".

3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this national standard, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1 Energy
3.1.1 Actual initial potential energy (potential energy)
Kp
It is referred to the value that directly tested with testing machine.
3.1.2 Absorbed Energy
K
It is referred to the energy value indicated by the pointer or other indicating devices.
Note: letters "V" and "U" express the geometric shapes of the nicks. The suffixed number like 2 or 8 expresses the radius of pendulum edge, like KV2.
3.2 Sample
The following terms (see Figure 1) will be used acco rding to the test position of the samples on the pedestal of testing machine:
3 2.1 Height
h
It is referred to the distance from the nick surface to the opposite surface hereof.
3.2.2 Width
w
It is referred to the length that is parallel with the axial line of the nick and perpendicular to the height direction.
3.2.3 Length
l
It is referred to the maximum size perpendicular to the nick direction.
Note: the nick direction is the direction of the notch depth.
