Dr Igor Shishkovsky,

Thankyou for replying to my question. I am not quite sure what your reply is
telling me though.

I have an example of what I am trying to achieve.

American standard ASTM D256:-
Impact strength test (Notched Izod) on laser sintered Polyamide material
supplied by DTM corp. provides a result of 214 J/m.

European standard DIN 53453:-
Notched impact strength test (Charpy) on laser sintered Polyamide material
supplied by EOS (GmbH) provides a result of 3 kJ/m2.

How can I convert the EOS result into the same units as the DTM result?

Which has the greater impact strength?

Regards,

Nigel Warden
