Common questions and selection tips for tablet press customers

1I am not sure about the relationship between MPa and pressure displayed on the header.

Customers often ask: I want a 30MPa tablet press (or similar question). In fact, every tablet press has more than just a header30MPAThe measuring range is the same for different specifications of tablet presses displayed on the meter headMPaThe pressure corresponding to time is different, for exampleYP-30T，1MPAcorresponding1Ton, display20MPAcorrect20Ton pressure, andYP-8T, header1MPAcorresponding0.4Ton, display20mpaCorrespondingly8Ton pressure. The header of each tablet press has a reference to how many tons it weighs.

1I am not sure about the relationship between the MPa displayed on the header and the actual pressure on the mold.

Customers often mistakenly believe that the MPa displayed on the header is the actual pressure on the mold, and the actual pressure on the mold isP=F(Actual pressure of tablet press at this time) ÷SWhat is the inner diameter area of the mold and what is displayed on the headerMPaThis pressurePCorresponding areaSIt is the area of the piston in the tablet press. Basically, our molds can withstand at least1000MPaThe pressure, our company hasYPThe actual pressure calculator for the mold of the series tablet press can be contacted by customer service if needed.

3. I don't know how much pressure to choose when selecting a tablet press.

When customers choose a tablet press, if they are not sure about the pressure, one option is to choose according to the purpose. Generally, YP-8T, 15T, and 24T are commonly used in infrared tablet pressing experiments, among which15TThe most commonly used. Fluorescence spectroscopy analysis, commonly usedYP-30T,40T,60T.of which30T，40TMore commonly used.

Additionally, the selection can be based on the size of the compression mold required. For example, for sizes below 10mm, they are generally selectedYP-8TMore than tenmmLeft and right selectionYP-15TIt is quite common (not necessarily, can be chosen according to the customer's own situation, please consult customer service for details).

3. Not sure what kind of mold to choose

Our XYM series molds come in various specifications, with commonly used ones including circular and rectangular molds. Generally, customers choose molds by first determining the shape and then determining the size. If it is pressed thicker（6mmThe above) or rectangular molds, commonly used are split type molds, because split type molds do not require pressure to demold and do not damage the sample, making them suitable for molds that are difficult to demold under pressure.

For some common experiments, such as infrared spectroscopy analysis and XRF fluorescence spectroscopy analysis, there are commonly used methods13mmMolds, boric acid molds, and so on. In addition, our company can also customize various specifications of molds, please consult customer service for details. (The following figure showsXYMSeries mold specifications

(PS: When using the mold, be sure to pay attention to the maximum working pressure and do not exceed it to damage the mold)
