This book introduces a standardized test for cast iron, called Keeps Test, which allows foundries to compare the strength, shrinkage, and chill of different irons. The test uses specially designed molds and a unique dead load testing machine to provide relative results that can be used to optimize the composition of iron mixtures for specific casting applications. By following the detailed instructions in this book, foundrymen can ensure the consistent quality of their castings. The author, an expert in metallurgy, provides a thorough explanation of the principles behind the test and offers practical guidance on how to use it effectively. With its emphasis on accuracy, consistency, and ease of use, Keeps Test has become the industry standard for evaluating the properties of cast iron.
