Permeability (foundry sand)
Affecting factors 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 Significance An increase in permeability usually indicates a more open structure in the rammed sand, and if ....
