  Temperature Measurement and Instruments
   

By Mr.Vishwas Kale

    Instruments play a vital role in foundries, especially in measurements of temperatures. The finished product quality depends largely on the determination of temperature whether in melting process or in heat treatment. The correct measurement depends on many factors. This video will explain how to achieve this.
    Contents:
      Basics of thermocouples and assemblies.
      Selection of Instruments and thermocouples.
      Thermocouples and Instruments for measurement of molten metal temperature.
      Thermocouples and Instruments for measurement of temperature in heat treatment furnaces.
      Checking calibration of Instruments, cable etc.

  Thermal Analysis Techniques
   

By Mr.Vishwas Kale

    Foundries use thermal analysis techniques as a tool on the shop floor to determine and control the properties of the metal to be cast.This helps to make corrections in the melt and obtain specified composition. The simplicity and acceptable accuracy of this method is already established. This video will help the foundry professionals to use this method in the best possible way.
    Contents
      Basics of temperature measurements and Instruments.
      Checking calibration of Instruments, Cables etc.
      Application in C.I., S.G. iron, Steel, Aluminium etc.
      Utility and Limitations.
