ISO 23472‑5 is an international standard that focuses on vocabulary of foundry machinery. It gives best guidelines for cupola furnaces and pouring devices and ladles.
ISO 23472‑5 defines a set of terms and definitions for cupola furnaces, pouring devices and ladles in foundry machinery.
ISO 23472‑5 applies to standards development in the foundry machinery field, technical documentation, related scientific and technical publications, etc.
Note: ISO 23472‑5 is not applicable to process and equipment related to melting and pouring of nonferrous metal.
Who is ISO 23472‑5 - Foundry machinery vocabulary for?
ISO 23472‑5 on vocabulary of foundry machinery is useful for:
- Foundry machinery manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use ISO 23472‑5 - Foundry machinery vocabulary?
Foundry machinery includes large melting furnaces, ladles, forklifts, cranes, conveyors, and transfer vessels. All foundry equipment is specially designed to function reliably in melt shop heat.
According to different casting processes and different stages of production, casting equipment covered by foundry machinery is divided into the major categories that include moulding, core making machines, and other equipment related to the foundry. To avoid misunderstandings due to this situation and to facilitate such exchanges, ISO 23472‑5 is advisable to select terms to be used in various languages or in various countries to express the same concept and to establish definitions providing satisfactory equivalents for the various terms in different languages. ISO 23472‑5 provides you with definitions in English that are rigorous, uncomplicated, and which can be understood by all concerned. It also provides definitions that are suitable for general application within foundry machinery, which includes machines and equipment adapted at each stage of the processes within different casting processes.
Using ISO 23472‑5 you can define a set of terms and definitions of cupola furnaces and other pouring devices and ladles for casting in foundry machinery.
