Test Sand & Test Dust

How hydraulic, automotive, and aerospace application components perform when exposed to particles of sand and dust is essential during use as well as lifetime durability and performance. Sand and dust test standards address environmental conditions that materials and products may face during operation so contamination by solid particles can be controlled. These standard reference materials have been designed to improve precision and accuracy in particle counting.
Typical Applications

Test Dust is used for the minor particle procedure to ascertain the ability of equipment to resist the effects of fine particles and their penetration into cracks, crevices, bearings, and joints.

Test Sand is used to determine whether equipment can be stored and operated under blowing sand conditions without experiencing degradation of its performance, effectiveness, reliability, and maintainability due to the abrasion or clogging effect of large, sharp-edged particles

Packaging Options

Jars (typically 1 – 5 kg) or Pails

Sustainable Qualities

Test Dust and Test Sand are considered sustainable materials because they can be reused and recycled in various applications. These materials are produced from natural minerals and undergo rigorous testing to ensure their consistency and quality. Test dust and test sand can be used for product testing, calibration, and research purposes, reducing the need for new materials and minimizing waste generation.

In a circular economy, the goal is to keep resources in use for as long as possible and minimize waste generation. Test Dust and Test Sand contribute towards this goal by being a sustainable material that can be used and reused in various applications, including product testing and calibration. By using these materials, manufacturers and researchers can reduce their reliance on new resources, leading to a more sustainable and circular economy.

View Magnesium (Mg) Metal
Magnesium (Mg) Metal

Magnesium (Mg) is a light, moderately hard, silvery-white metal that ignites easily in the air and burns with a bright light. It is strong, has good heat dissipation and dampening, and is easy to weld, forge, cast or machine. It can improve the mechanical, fabrication, and welding characteristics when used as an alloying agent since it has a low density and is the lightest structural metal (a third lighter than aluminum). It also has good electrical properties. Magnesium turnings and chips are produced by milling commercial and high-purity magnesium, keeping size under control to obtain the desired specific surface and reactivity. They are silver-white. initially, but can turn to a dark gray if stored improperly. Purity: Standard purity (99.8% Mg) Ultra-high purity (99.98% Mg)
