How It Works

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. This advanced electronic technology is capable of running over ten different sand strength tests.

A fully automatic system which measures the permeability of porous sand masses, both in compacted and loose states. Simply place your specimen on the rubber pedestal and press start. With the addition of specifically designed accessories, the Permmeter can also measure the permeability of raw foundry sand, shell coated foundry sand, and refractory coatings that are used in the foundry industry.

The Wet Tensile Strength Tester determines tensile strength of the condensation zone that is created in all clay bonded molds during and after pouring.

This instrument was designed to mimic the compressing action of an automatic molding machine in order to measure the effects the sand has upon its compactionabilities. Also, the device prepares standard 2″ x 2″ AFS or 50mm x 50mm metric sand specimens. The standard sand specimen is used in various tests including permeability, compressive strength, shear strength, etc.

For the determination of the compressive strength sD up to approx. 30 N/cm2. 230 V, 50 Hz.

This electronic mold strength tester ensures a practically movement-free force measurement by means of an oscillating crystal-controlled sensor. The measured force, which corresponds to the penetration resistance, indicates the strength rate. The tester comprises a digital display unit, a multifunction push-button switch and two 1,5 V batteries. It measures and stores the maximum value in N/cm2 or PSI, automatically calibrates the zero point, retains the value last measured in storage, and then turns off automatically.

In order to accurately measure the gas pressure from foundry sands, this instrument can be used. To measure, a sand sample is heated then the gas pressure is recorded over time.
