The Mold Must Be Permeable, Porous To Permit The Gases To Escape


What is the permeability of coars and fine sand?

The permeability of coarse sand is 1.89mL/s and the permeability of fine sand is 0.54mL/s.


What is the percentage of clay used in molding sand?

molding sand contains 8-12 % of clay.


What is permeability in sand casting?

This allows the gases and steam to escape from the mold during casting. The grain size, shape and distribution of the foundry sand, the type and quantity of bonding materials, the density to which the sand is rammed, and the percentage of moisture used for tempering the sand are important factors in regulating the degree of permeability.

How does the permeability of a sand filter change with time as it filters more and more water?

Permeability is dependent on a number of factors and a number of mechanisms can act to alter the permeability of a sand when water is passed through it:Fluid chemistry:Depending on the composition of the sand grains and also the water chemistry, reactions can occur that will precipitate minerals that act to reduce the permeability of the sand. Conversely, acidic waters may act to dissolve mineral grains and may lead to increased porosity and ultimately an increase in permeability. NB: This is a very simple summary of a very complex topic.Presence of dissolved gasses in the fluid:Gasses may come out of solution from the water as it passes through the sand filter. These can form bubbles which become trapped and will act as barriers to flow reducing permeability (it is for this reason that in laboratory testing of soil permeability, de-aired water must be used).Flow velocity:Depending on the fluid flow velocity and the direction of flow through the sand, the soil sample may "boil". This is where the pore pressure is increased due to the high flow rate to the point that the sand essentially liquefies (known as liquefaction). As such this is no longer an interaction between a fluid and a porous and permeable medium, rather it is an interaction between two fluids (the water / sand suspension and the input water).Transient effects:Fluid temperature will effect viscosity and as such this will have an impact of the permeability of the sand (this is why a temperature correction is applied to laboratory permeability tests on soils).Repeated saturation then draining of the sand, will vary the pore water pressure thus varying the effective stress within the soil. During any phase where the water is free draining from the filter sand, the pore pressure will become negative. This is known as soil suction and can lead to increasing density of the sand, which reduces pore space and ultimately therefore reduces permeability.


Is sand more permeable than clay?

Yes, sand is more permeable than clay since sand contains bigger particles and bigger particles equal greater permeability.


What causes water to go back into the earth?

gravity and soil permeability (spaces in between sand particles)


What is the permeability of No. 8 gravel No. 67 limstone No. 8 limestone No. 57 stone and limestone sand?

The gravels will be very fast. The permability of the sand will depend on how clean it is. As more material passes the No. 200 sieve, permeability will rapidly decrease. At 10 to 15 percent, ponding will easily occur.
