Impact testing comparisons
(OP)
Are there any charts or tables that show comparative values for Izod and Charpy results?
I know you cannot translate the results but, because they are dependant upon the material there should be some relationship and somebody must (surely) have considered analysing this.

RE: Impact testing comparisons
You will find some long-winded translation formulae in a book "Fracture & Fatigue Control in Structures" by John Barsom and Stan Rolfe, published by Prentice-Hall Inc, but as you say, such calculations really yield little more than approximations one would not want to rely on too heavily.
