Pass/Fail Checks for a Hydraulic Ceramic Tile Press FAT
Buyers should turn pressing force, press gap, and forming behavior into measurable acceptance checks before signing off a 3,500 ton hydraulic ceramic tile press.
A buyer should decide, before the factory acceptance test, which measurements will stop acceptance rather than merely be recorded. For a hydraulic ceramic tile press rated at 3,500 ton, agree in the request for quotation how pressing force will be verified, at what points across the cycle, and what tolerance counts as a fail. Ask whether force is read from a calibrated instrument or the machine display, and require the method to be stated in the test plan.
Press gap is the second practical check. With a reference value of 1,750 mm, confirm how gap is set, measured, and repeated over several cycles. A useful pass or fail question is whether repeated settings return to the same measured gap within a limit the buyer sets. During forming trials with ceramic powder, define observable criteria: tile dimensions, surface defects, and consistency between consecutive pieces. Keep these as buyer-defined acceptance criteria, not assumed performance.
Before requesting a quote, confirm with the supplier which instruments are calibrated, how force and gap are measured, what test records are provided, and who witnesses each check.
