Ceramic Slip Viscosity and Casting Rate Test Apparatus

Torsion viscometer with plaster mould, density cup and thickness gauge that measures slip viscosity, thixotropy and cast rate. Used by sanitaryware and tableware casting shops to adjust water and deflocculant.

Specification

The thixotropy and viscosity of casting slip are measured with a torsion viscometer while mould trials show cast rate. These guide water and deflocculant additions in a casting shop.
