To achieve a good and stable electrode performance, a well-defined routine quality control with unbiased sample preparation is required. The sample preparation is often underestimated, as a sampling procedure with inappropriate equipment will falsify the test results.
The RDC-157 apparatus is a specifically designed core drilling machine to ensure a correct sample preparation. The apparatus consists of a core bit driven by an electrical motor. A pressure gauge combined with an adjustment valve allows controlling the speed for automatic drilling operations. Cores with a diameter of 50 mm and a length of approximately 250 mm are prepared for the subsequent evaluation of properties. The installation of the RDC-157 apparatus requires a specific frame determined by customer requirements which is not supplied with the equipment.
