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
