PThe Institute of Precision Mechanics has developed and built a portable quenchant tester, labeled OGJ – 01. It is designated for testing of quenching media, in accordance with the ISO 9950 standard. Results of measurements made with quenchant tester are helpful in the evaluation and comparison of quenchants, as well as enabling the correct selection of the appropriate quenchants for the hardening of given components. The tester may be used to check the properties of various types of quenching media (e.g. oils, polymer, water) in production-type tanks installed in heat treating departments. It can also be used in industrial and academic laboratories. The result of such a test asseses the quenching ability of the given production stand, as well as to predict the hardness of components to be hardened.
