Palmer flow calibration tubes are a cost effective, beneficial, foundry efficiency tool. Flow calibration tubes offer:
Advantages
- Eliminate the need for scales, buckets, and gloves in calibration
- Calibrate continuous mixers without wasting binder (zero loss
system) - Calibration accomplished with one operator
- Measures actual binder flow to the mixer in operation
- Calibration is performed during the mold and core making process
eliminating lost production time due to calibration - Entire procedure takes less than 2 minutes
- Eliminates the normal mess of calibration
- No operator contact with resins
- Extremely accurate - less chance of error
- Trial resin samples are easily tested by using the flow calibration
tubes as a mini resin storage tank without changing a single hose
Features
- Construction materials compatible with foundry resin systems
- Heavy duty sight glass gauge
- Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene end caps
- Brass ball valve with Teflon seals for binders
- PVC ball valve with Teflon seals for acid catalysts
- All connections are either 1/2" or 3/4" NPT Standard Threads
- Sight glass easily cleaned or replaced as needed
- Sight glass scale calibrated in milliliters - 2% of full scale accuracy
