Sand Testing Equipment Manuals

Sand Rammer

Model 42100

Used to prepare a standard AFS 2 in. x 2 in. (Metric 50 mm x 50 mm) cylindrical sand specimen for compression, shear, splitting, deformation and tensile tests.

Electronic Universal Sand Strength Machine

Model 42104

The Electronic Universal Sand Strength Machine determines the strength properties of clay and/or chemically bonded foundry sand specimens. This strength machine applies pressure on a sand specimen until failure to calculate the maximum force needed to break the specimen and then digitally displays the test results.

Hot Shell Tensile Accessory

Model 42104F

This accessory to the Electronic Universal Sand Strength Machine is used to measure the hot tensile strength of shell sands.

Digital Absolute Permmeter

Model 42105

A fully automatic system which measures the permeability of porous sand masses, both in compacted and loose states.

Laboratory Sifter

Model 42106

Used to determine the fineness of foundry sands.

Methylene Blue Clay Tester

Model 42108

Used to determine the amount of live bentonite clay present in a sand sample.

English

Test Pieces Blower

Model 42109

Used to make standard tensile, transverse (except cold box) and hot distortion test pieces.

Catalyst Vaporizer

Model 42109A

Connects to the Test Piece Blower or the Modified Test Piece Blower in order to control the gassing and purging sequence of the test specimen via the included electronic cables and supply lines.

Laboratory Muller

Model 42110

Used to prepare mixtures of clay bonded foundry sands and other chemical processing applications that require the high intensity mulling action of the wheels.

Laboratory Core Sand Mixer

Model 42111

Designed to mix liquid binders with sand that is common to all chemically bonded sand mixtures.

Wet Tensile Tester - Model 42112

Determines tensile strength of the condensation zone that is created in all clay bonded molds during and after pouring.

Hot Distortion Tester

Model 42114

Measures the expansion and high temperature plastic performance of chemically bonded sands when suddenly heated by liquid metal.

High Temperature Compression Tester

Model 42115

Used to determine hot properties of molded sand with any type of binder (kaolinites, bentonites and chemical binders).

English

Hot Properties Rammer

Model 42116

Used to make standard clay bonded sand specimens for the High Temperature Compression Tester.

English

Rapid Sand Washer

Model 42119

Used to prepare a sand sample for the AFS Clay Tester.

AFS Clay Tester

Model 42131

Stirs a water and sand mixture into suspension and drains the overlaying liquid after a preset settling time.

Acid Demand Value ADV Test Kit

Model 42136

Measures the amount of basic material present in the sand that is soluble in a dilute acid solution.

Friability Tester

Model 42141

Used to determine the friability (surface integrity) of a clay bonded foundry molding sand by measuring the ability of compacted molding sand to resist abrasion or scuffing within the first few millimeters at the surface of a prepared mold.

Mold Hardness Tester B-Scale

Model 42142

Portable, lightweight and easy to operate. It incorporates an LCD display that clearly indicates the hardness number and completely eliminates any operator error associated with reading a mechanical scale. The instrument automatically records the maximum penetration value.

Mold Hardness Tester B-Scale Advanced

Model 42142ADV

Mold Hardness Tester C-Scale

Model 42143

Mold Hardness Tester C-Scale Advanced

Model 42143ADV

Electronic Scratch Hardness Tester

Model 42145

The scratch hardness of a mold or core is determined using this instrument. The instrument incorporates a four-point cutter that penetrates a finished core or mold surface when rotated.

Melt Point Tester

Model 42152

The test apparatus consists of a heated bar in which a temperature gradient is established so that the left end of the bar is cooler than the right.

English

Shatter Index Tester

Model 42159

This tester is designed to measure resistance to degeneration and plasticity of clay bonded sand upon impacting a target at a fixed velocity.

Digital Pneumatic Sand Squeezer

Model 42160

Designed to mimic the compressing action of an automatic molding machine in order to measure the effects the sand has upon its compactionabilities.

Pneumatic Ejector

Model PAB-P

Automatically ejects the specimen softly, ensuring high repeatability. Since the human “factor” can be eliminated, the test sample can be ejected without any further compaction.

Mold Strength Tester

Model PEP

For the determination of the degree of curing in the lower zones and determination of curing time, especially the strip time.

Universal Sand Strength Machine

Model PFG

For the determination of the compressive, splitting, transverse, tensile, and twin transverse strength tests.

Motorized Universal Sand Strength Machine

Model PFG-MA

Electric motor instead of hand drive optional. Auxiliary instruments for determination of: Transverse-, shear-, splitting and increased strengths.

Mold Strength Tester

Model PFP

Ensures a practically movement-free force measurement by means of an oscillating crystal-controlled sensor.

Gas Pressure Measuring Device

Model PGD-E

Accurately measures the gas pressure from foundry sands.

English

Scratch Hardness Tester

Model PKH

Used for determining core hardness and includes a calibration fixture, software package, and infrared receiver to download data to a PC.

Labjet

Model PLS

For the determination of the transverse strength of core sand, a standard sample specimen of reproducible quality must be made.

English

Methylene Blue Clay Tester-Mag Stirrer

Model 223100 / 42136-IS

For fast and complete removal of the clay coating and other material from the sand surface.

Minilab

Model PVF-C

A multi-purpose instrument used to determine strength properties of clay and/or chemically bonded foundry sand specimens.
