PAS5000 Porosity Analysis System for Quick Accurate Production and Measurement of Reduced Pressure Test Samples
The PAS5000 is the new standard in aluminum Reduced Pressure Testing (RPT) and melt quality control. This rugged foundry floor system performs both the production and analysis of reduced pressure test samples. The fully integrated large HMI control panel walks the operator through each step of the test. Test results are automatically calculated, reported, and stored for Specific Gravity, Percent Porosity, or Density Index. Accurate results are provided in approximately 7 minutes while completely eliminating the operator influence commonly experienced with the old visual analysis method. In addition to eliminating the need to saw, grind, and polish the RPT samples, no consumables are used in the process. The PAS5000 is quality system friendly while being safer, faster, and more accurate than the chart comparison method.
