Molten Metal Splash Resistance Tester

The Molten Metal Splash Resistance Tester is designed to evaluate the resistance of materials to molten metal splash under controlled test conditions. This molten metal splash resistance tester is mainly used to assess the protective performance of heat-resistant fabrics and protective clothing by determining their ability to prevent molten metal penetration.

Application

(1) Protective clothing used in foundry and metal processing industries (e.g., aluminum, iron, and steel operations)
(2) Heat-resistant fabrics used in welding garments and industrial workwear
(3) Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as jackets, trousers, gloves, and aprons
(4) Quality control testing of textile materials exposed to high-temperature environments
(5) Research and certification testing of protective materials

Standards

(1) BS EN ISO 9185:2007 (Protective clothing – Assessment of resistance to molten metal splash)
(2) ISO 9185 (Protective clothing against molten metal splash)

Parameters

Features

(1) Stainless steel enclosure with interlock door for safe operation
(2) Stepper motor controls crucible tilting, ensuring stable and repeatable pouring
(3) Adjustable pouring angle and height to meet different test requirements
(4) Compact structure suitable for laboratory environments
(5) Designed to comply with international testing standards

Accessories

(1) Crucible and holder
(2) Sample support frame
(3) PVC indicator film (simulated skin)
(4) Operation manual

Test Procedures

(1) Place the PVC indicator film behind the test specimen
(2) Heat the metal in a furnace (optional) until fully molten
(3) Transfer the crucible to the test position using a dedicated holder
(4) Set the required pouring angle and height
(5) Activate the stepper motor to tilt the crucible and pour molten metal onto the specimen
(6) Inspect the PVC film for signs of damage
(7) Repeat the test with adjusted molten metal quantity until minimum damage is observed

Maintenance Information

(1) Clean the crucible and sample holder after each test
(2) Regularly inspect the stepper motor and moving components
(3) Check the interlock door function to ensure safety
(4) Keep the instrument clean and free from metal residue
(5) Ensure proper handling of high-temperature components

Conclusion

The Molten Metal Splash Resistance Tester provides a reliable and standardized method for evaluating the resistance of materials to molten metal splash. It is suitable for laboratory testing, quality control, and certification purposes in industries requiring high-temperature protective performance.
