Molten Metal Splash Impact Tester

Projections of molten metal drops at a point on a vertical oriented test specimen and measurement of the number of the drops required to cause a 40 K temperature rise in a sensor behind the specimen.

Application

You can use this tester to determine the impact resistance and protective capability of materials exposed to molten metal splashes. Typical applications include:

(1) Testing protective clothing, gloves, and aprons used in foundries or metal processing industries.

(2) Evaluating thermal insulation panels or shields used in steel mills or metal casting facilities.

(3) Quality control and R&D for high-temperature resistant coatings and fabrics.

(4) Safety certification testing for compliance with international molten metal protection standards.

(5) Material performance comparison for industrial safety evaluations.

Technical Parameters：

 Test Procedures

(1) Secure the vertically oriented test specimen in the holding frame.

(2) Adjust the motor feed rate according to material thickness and standard requirements.

(3) Set the oxygen and acetylene flow rates using the needle valves.

(4) Start the test and allow molten metal droplets to impact the specimen.

(5) Monitor the temperature rise behind the specimen until a 40 K increase is reached; record the number of droplets required.

(6) Compile results for material evaluation and certification purposes.

Maintenance Information

Clean the drop guide and sensor surfaces after each test.

Inspect gas connections and needle valves for leaks or wear.

Verify motor feed rate calibration periodically.

Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.

Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately to ensure accuracy and safety.

Conclusion

The Molten Metal Splash Impact Tester provides accurate, standardized measurement of material resistance to molten metal splashes. Its adjustable motor feed, precise temperature sensor, and compliance with international standards make it ideal for R&D, quality control, and safety certification in metal processing and high-temperature industries.
