The condensation zone is the lowest strength layer in the cross section of the mold and the source of casting defects. The Wet Tensile Strength Tester, Model 42112, is designed to measure the tensile strength of bentonite bonded molding sand in this condensation zone (wet layer.
3 Short Description & Specifications Description The Wet Tensile Strength Tester, Model 42112, is designed to accurately determine the tensile strength of the condensation zone in a clay/bentonite bonded molding sand. The instrument recreates the casting environment by utilizing a heater to generate a condensation zone in a sand specimen.
