Foundry Products:
Flow Calibration Tubes

Recently acquired by Palmer, the EAGLE line of flow calibration tubes adds one more cost effective, beneficial foundry efficiency tool to the arsenal that Palmer brings to the table. 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 
  • Site glass easily cleaned or replaced as needed 
  • Site glass scale calibrated in milliliters - 2% of full scale accuracy

Sizing

The Flow Calibrator is available in three sizes: 

  • 1/2 Liter 
  • 2 Liter 
  • 4 Liter
