  • Page 14: Short Description & Specifications

    3 Short Description & Specifications Short Description & Specifications Application The Electronic Universal Sand Strength Machine, Model 42104, is used to determine the strength properties of clay and/or chemically bonded foundry sand specimens. A horizontally moving arm applies pressure on a sand specimen until failure.
  • Page 15 Short Description & Specifications 3 When testing green compression and shear strengths, the Electronic Universal Sand Strength Machine measures the force needed to reach the point of maximum strength. Maximum strength is defined at the point just before sand specimen destruction. Maximum strength is shown at point 1 on an example of a typical stress strain curve generated from a clay bonded molding sand (Figure 3.2.1).

  • Page 16: Specifications, Dimensions And Weights (Approximate)

    3 Short Description & Specifications The ability to accurately measure green deformation at maximum strength is another advantage of stopping the application of load to the sand specimen at maximum strength. Ease of measuring green deformation is an advantage of not destroying the sand specimen.
