Permeability of Soils: Factors and Determination
Constant head permeability test is suitable for coarsegrained soils. Variable head permeability test, also called falling head permeability test is suitable for both coarsegrained and finegrained soils. The falling head permeameter avoids the need to collect and measure discharge through the soil sample. Permeability of partially saturated ...

Mechanical Properties and Permeability of Sand Casting ...
Among all sand moulds under study, sample 3 10% ES in dry conditions had the highest tensile, compressive and shear strengths of Kg/cm 2, Kg/cm 2 and Kg/cm 2, respectively. The results of the permeability test with heat treatment at 110˚C for 60 minutes showed that sample 3 10% ES had a permeability value of ml/min.

5 types of Sand casting defects and how to prevent to ...
Control the adequate moisture content in the sand mold and ensure molding sand is dry and permeable ; Notice that the sand which is too fine can weaken the sand mold gas permeability. It is recommendable to use coarser sand for better gas permeability. Also, do not excessively rammed the sand mold because it can lower sand mold permeability too.

Types of Casting Defects in Sand Casting | African Pegmatite
However, a common cause of the above defects is the use of casting sands with reduced permeability, strength and high moisture content. This highlights the importance of using appropriate sands in the sand casting processes. While some green sands and dry sands stand out in strength, they do not satisfy all requirements of good casting sand.

Observations on soil permeability, moulding moisture ...
Aug 01, 1996 · Laboratory permeability tests were conducted on four different soil types using the falling head permeameter to investigate the relationships between permeability, dry density and moulding moisture content for each soil. Coefficients of permeability were determined for moisture contents up to the liquid limit of the soil.

The Performance Requirements and Testing Methods of Green Sand
2. Permeability Compact sand can let the gas escape and this ability is known as permeability. The level of permeability is mainly affected by the sand size, size distribution, grain shape, clay content, the binder type, its added quantity and the binder distribution in the sand and effects of sand compaction.

Feb 01, 1998 · J. S. Younger writes: It is interesting to note a reemergence of interest in the permeability properties of compacted clayey type soils from the earlier work carried out in the late 1950s and 1960s. A large programme of work was undertaken at that time at the University of California into a wide range of properties of compacted fine grained soils under the leadership of .
