Izod Impact Scale Test: Determining High/Low Strength Values in Joules

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around determining high and low impact strength values using the Izod impact scale test, which measures strength in joules. The original poster has calculated the impact strength for various materials but lacks a reference scale for interpretation. Participants suggest that the relative scale for impact strength is not commonly available and recommend using Google for further research. There is an acknowledgment that finding specific high or low value benchmarks can be challenging. Overall, the conversation highlights the difficulty in establishing a clear standard for evaluating impact strength in materials.

I'm supposed to determine if a bunch of materials have a high or low impact strength. I did the hard part and determined that the impact strength for each material, but I don't know a relative scale. What is a high value on the izod impact scale test(it's measured in joules). Any idea?

This answer may seem useless, but I think it's the best one you'll get here - try to use google. :wink:
 
i've used plenty of google, the relative scale is not typically mentioned
