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
Sizing
The Flow Calibrator is available in three
sizes:
- 1/2 Liter
- 2 Liter
