SYS-A/B/C Sand Mould Surface Hardness Tester
1. Overview
Three types of sand surface hardness testers, A B C, are used to
measure the surface hardness of green sand molds.
Its structure is composed of rack pressure head (1) meter head (2)
watch case (3) force spring (4) drive gear (8) rotary gear (14)
pointer (15) adjusting ring (16) and so on.
Type A: Suitable for surface hardness testing of fine sand molds
(cores) molded by hand or mechanical low and medium pressure. Type
B is suitable for surface hardness testing of fine and coarse sand
molds (cores) molded by hand or mechanical low and medium pressure.
Type C is suitable for testing the surface hardness of sand molds
in high pressure molding.
2. Technical specifications and parameters
I Precision
When the pointer is any value, the corresponding force tolerance of
the indenter is ±5%
The pointer returns to the O position and the tolerance is +-1
degree.
II Dimensions 90x55x28
Note: The maximum load is the force required to press the indenter
to the level of the gauge head (2).
| Parameters | Type A | Type B | Type C |
| Compression stroke | 2.50mm | 2.50mm | 2.50mm |
| Maximum load | 237g | 980g | 1500g |
| Preload | 90g | 50g | 180g |
| Indenter shape and size |

3. Principle
According to the principle that the force of the spring and the
stroke are linear, the stroke of the spring is indicated by the
surface pointer through a set of gears and racks. The unit of sand
surface hardness is (g/mm2), but it is customary to use hardness
instead of unit. Because their values are related and consistent,
that is, if the unit value is large (g/mm2), the corresponding
degree value is also large.
4. Use and adjustment
I Adjust the O position. When the pointer (15) is not at the O
position, turn the adjustment ring (16) to align the pointer (15)
with the O position. II When using, press the hardness tester
firmly on the tested sand surface (the axis of the hardness tester
should be perpendicular to the surface of the sand mold), so that
the surface of the hardness tester head (2) is in close contact
with the tested sand surface, and the pointer is also When it stops
at a certain value, press the locking pin (18) to lock it, read the
measured value, and then loosen the locking pin (18) to return the
pointer (15) to the O position.
III When measuring, you can test 3-5 times on each measuring part,
and then calculate the average number, which is the hardness value
of the part.
5. Repair and maintenance
I. Do not open the watch cover (13) and the screws on the back of
the watch case at will to prevent sand and dust from falling into
it, which will affect its accuracy.
II. When used or placed, it is not subject to severe vibration to
prevent the instrument from malfunctioning and affecting use.
III. If there is sand in the gap between the indenter (1) and the
meter head (2), carefully unscrew the 3~M2 screws, remove the meter
head, remove the sticky sand, and install it as it is (do not pull
out the indenter)
