General Description
The RDC-140 Anode Core Saw was specifically designed for the preparation of baked anode cores to perform typical routine analysis. In a single step, it allows the cutting of a core into pieces of the required lengths. These cores are typically used for the testing of the following properties:
- 20 mm: RDC-145 Air Permeability and RDC-143 Thermal Conductivity.
- 60 mm: RDC-151 Air Reactivity Anode (or RDC-146 CO2 Reactivity Anode).
- 130 mm: Apparent Density, RDC-150 Specific Electrical Resistance, EXT-110 Dynamic Elasticity Modulus, RDC- 187 Flexural Strength.
In a second step, a supplied stop plate can be inserted into the sample holder to cut a 130 mm core sample following the flexural strength test for the determination of the following properties:
- 50 mm: RDC-158 Thermal Expansion and RDC-144 Compressive Strength & Young’s Modulus.
- 60 mm: RDC-146 CO2 Reactivity Anode (or RDC-151 Air Reactivity Anode).
Samples with a diameter of 30 mm or 50 mm and a length of up to 280 mm can be cut with the RDC-140 apparatus. Water is sprayed onto the blades during the cutting operation, a drying step is then required prior to performing any subsequent testing.
