Prefil®-Footprinter Pressure Filtration Melt Cleanliness Analyzer
Brand: ABB GroupThe Prefil®-Footprinter measures the relative cleanliness of an aluminum melt by comparison with a benchmark inclusion level for a given alloy, a production process or a given stage in the process.
Prefil® is the only inclusion analyzer that provides an immediate result and, at the same time, a sample for further metallographic analysis. These two qualities make the Prefil®-Footprinter a powerful solution for performing process control on a day-to-day basis, and/or on a more in-depth audit basis for process optimization. The Prefil®-Footprinter is simple to use and designed to survive the foundry floor. Its rugged construction is based on an open architecture that will give you access to improvements and upgrades over the long life expectancy of the instrument. The instrument is well engineered for process optimization and routine measurement by shop floor personnel.
Features- The result is seen directly on a computer screen
- The metal residue of the test can be saved and sent to ABB for metallographic analysis.Read more about Metallographic analysis
