General InformationCast Iron Class 6 Slotted Weights are used in a variety of applications such as pressure, torque, and tensile strength testing. Cast Iron Class 6 Slotted Weights are typically used with a hanger that also has its weight calibrated so the hanger can be used as part of the overall weight under test. Several Cast Iron Class 6 Slotted Weights may be used together to build up from a minimum weight to a maximum test load. The hanger weight selected should be able to accommodate the total load needed. Construction and General ShapeTroemner's Cast Iron Slotted Weights are manufactured from a high quality iron that meets ANSI/ASTM E617 hardness requirements. Castings also meet ANSI/ASTM E617 surface roughness requirements and are free of cracks, pits and sharp edges. There are adjusting cavities in each weight above 2 kg / 5 lb. Weights below 2 kg / 5 lb are adjusted by removing material from the underside of the weight. Each weight has the nominal value cast into the topside of the weight. Weights are protected by a durable coat of paint – gold for metric and silver for avoirdupois – to protect the casting from rusting. Weights 50 kg / 100 lb and above are provided with two handles on opposite ends to aid in lifting. For dimensions of Cast Iron Grip Handle Weights, please see the dimension tables below. HangersCast Iron Slotted Weights are typically used with a hanger that also has its weight calibrated so the hanger can be used as part of the overall weight under test. Weight hangers are available in a variety of lengths and weight capacities. Hangers are calibrated to a mass value, and also have a capacity of how much weight can be loaded onto them. The length of each hanger is listed in the Ordering Tables below. To determine which hanger will accommodate your weights, use the stem height of the hanger as the maximum height, then use the thickness dimension of each weight along with the quantity you intend to place on the hanger to determine the total height of your stack of weights. The height of your stack of weights should be less than the length of the hanger. The dimension of the hook opening is 1/2 inch. Surface FinishAll surfaces shall be smooth and free of scratches, dents and pores as outlined in ANSI/ASTM E617. Paint will be hard and resistant to chipping. Color codings (gold for metric and silver for avoirdupois) shall be used to differentiate the weights. |
