Test sand for the measurement of crushing strength of granules
Equipment
A sand test is carried out for rapid recording of crushing properties of granules. The data obtained is useful for carrying out fluid grinding operations in the chemical industry. The image describes a sand test that was set up by the Department of Mechanical Engineering for the measurement of crushing strength of granules. The image states that the features of the test were as follows: (a) A special design of load cells (proving ring type cells) in the ranges 0-2 kgs and 0-5 kgs (b) Freedom from errors of clamping the load cell and transverse loading due to irregular granule size (c) 3 phase gear motor drive with reversible switch (d) Granules up to 10 mm diameter can be tested (e) Facilities for calibrating the load cells are available.
