Mould and casting materials.
Choose the actual material and supply form. Each sheet identifies what to measure, which product data to collect and a purchase assumption to check.
Mould box casting material
Measure the supplied mould box's internal volume and the actual master displacement.
Prepare this material →Tapered pot casting material
Measure the outer taper and the prescribed internal cavity starting above the base.
Prepare this material →Rectangular planter casting material
Measure the supplied outer box, base and side and end wall dimensions.
Prepare this material →Recessed disk casting material
Measure the full disk and its prescribed face recess depth and diameter.
Prepare this material →Hemispherical bowl casting material
Use the supplied outer and inner radii of the hemispherical shell.
Prepare this material →Arc sector casting material
Measure the supplied ring segment radii, angle and constant casting depth.
Prepare this material →How these quantities differ
| Material | Selected product data | Ordering mistake to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Mould box casting material | Prepared material yield per kit or bag and your supplied purchase allowance. | The outer box volume includes space occupied by the master and may overstate material demand. |
| Tapered pot casting material | Prepared yield per complete selected package. | Subtracting a cavity that starts at the wrong height changes the side-wall volume. |
| Rectangular planter casting material | Prepared mixed yield per package. | Adding four wall volumes separately can count corner material twice. |
| Recessed disk casting material | Prepared yield per package. | A face recess is a partial-depth deduction, not a hole through the whole disk. |
| Hemispherical bowl casting material | Prepared mixed yield per selected kit or bag. | A hemispherical bowl uses half the difference of full sphere volumes. |
| Arc sector casting material | Prepared mixed yield per package. | Using full-ring volume overstates a partial sector's material requirement. |
