Ball-Pan Hardness Test Set

Ball-Pan Hardness Test Set – For Reliable Carbon Hardness Testing

The ball-pan hardness test is a widely recognized method for determining the degradation resistance of granular activated carbons. This test method utilizes a ball pan and steel balls, combined with a Ro-Tap sieve shaker, to simulate the mechanical stresses that activated carbons may encounter during handling and use. By subjecting the activated carbon sample to controlled agitation, the pan hardness test provides a measurable characteristic of the material’s ability to withstand particle size degradation.

This hardness test is essential for assessing the performance and durability of activated carbons in a variety of applications, from water treatment to air purification. The results help determine how well the carbon will resist breakdown under service conditions, ensuring that only high-quality, durable products are selected for demanding environments. As a standard approach for evaluating pan hardness, the ball-pan hardness test plays an important role in maintaining the reliability and effectiveness of activated carbons across industries.

Brass Hardness Testing: Ball-Pan Hardness Test Set

Ball-Pan Hardness Test Set measures the abrasion resistance of granulated activated carbons. The test is performed using a ro tap shaker, where a sample is placed in the ball-pan with the steel balls and run for 30 minutes in the 8in W.S. Tyler Ro-Tap Sieve Shaker. The heavy ball-pan is loosely stacked (free to rotate) with five standard 8in ASTM Test Sieves, Pan, and Cover. Hardness of the activated carbon sample is determined by abrasion resistance as measured by sieving the ground sample.

Ball-Pan Hardness Set includes the 8-inch brass ball-pan, an item essential for the test, (15) 1/2in (12.7mm) Steel Balls, and (15) 3/8in (9.5mm) Steel Balls. Ball-Pan has an 8mm thick hardened brass bottom plate dished out at 1.092mm inner radius for a 3.2mm thickness at its center. Bottom plate is mounted in a standard full-height sieve frame with extended rim for stacking. Ball-Pan requires a standard sieve pan to nest properly in the suitable Ro-Tap sieve shaker.

What is Brass Hardness Testing

Brass hardness testing is a critical process to determine the mechanical properties of a material, particularly metals. It measures the resistance to deformation, indentation and abrasion. This testing is used in many industries, manufacturing, aerospace and automotive where the material performance and durability is critical.

The process involves applying a known load to the material surface roughness using an indenter which creates a depression. The size and depth of this depression is then measured to calculate the material hardness value. This value is a critical factor in determining the material suitability for a particular application, so it can withstand the demands of its intended use.

Applications and Advantages

• Material Suitability: To ensure the material is right for the application.

• Specifications: To verify the material meets industry standards and specifications.

• Defects: To detect potential defects or weaknesses in the material that can affect performance.

• Material Properties: To enhance material properties for better performance and durability.

• Reduce Waste and Costs: To minimize material waste and associated costs by using the right material from the start.

It is the user's responsibility to follow all safety guidelines and standard procedures when conducting material testing to ensure proper results and regulatory compliance.
