STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Fluidity Spiral Length (solidified) = 37.846*Composition Factor+(0.228*Pouring Temperature (in degree Celsius))-389.6
FSL = 37.846*CF+(0.228*T_P)-389.6
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Fluidity Spiral Length (solidified) - (Measured in Meter) - Fluidity Spiral Length (solidified) is measured for the fluidity which is represented by the length of the spiral solidified.
Composition Factor - Composition Factor can be defined as the factor affecting fluidity and composition of metal.
Pouring Temperature (in degree Celsius) - Pouring Temperature (in degree Celsius) is the temperature at which the molten metal is poured into the casting mold, impacting the solidification rate.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Composition Factor: 46.25 --> No Conversion Required
Pouring Temperature (in degree Celsius): 500.1 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

FSL = 37.846*CF+(0.228*T_P)-389.6 --> 37.846*46.25+(0.228*500.1)-389.6

Evaluating ... ...

FSL = 1474.8003

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1474.8003 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1474.8003 ≈ 1474.8 Meter <-- Fluidity Spiral Length (solidified)

What is Spiral Fluidity test?

Since fluidity depends on such a large number of diverse variables, it is not feasible theoretically to determine it and therefore, practical testing is resorted to. The most commonly used testing is the spiral fluidity test. The mould of the same composition that is to be used is prepared with the standard spiral pattern with gating. The casting prepared from the mould is measured for the fluidity which is represented by the length of the spiral solidified.
Gray cast iron is the most fluid of all the ferrous alloys. The fluidity of gray cast iron is affected by the composition factor (CF). Since the fluidity is affected by the pouring temperature and to affect the completion of the mould filling in a reasonable time, the pouring temperatures of the molds are accordingly controlled.
