This apparatus is used for determining the Hardenability of steel by an experiment called Quench Test. This experiment will enable to know about the Hardenability characteristics of different alloying element. The material to be evaluated is heated uniformly on particular range of temperature for a limited time-period along with water quenching at one end which helps in measuring the hardness of the test material.
After heating process, the test specimen is provided with specimen support where the action valve impinged the water on specimen so that desired water level for the nozzle is obtained. Entire test apparatus is an enclosed apparatus which comprises of electrical controls and safety devices for pumps and motor.
