This system manages coolant as a recirculating loop to control cutting heat and help maintain consistent round tensile specimen geometry. Coolant is held in an integrated 25 L tank and circulated by a dedicated coolant pump, so the same fluid can be reused through normal day-to-day machining.
For routine specimen preparation, most labs run a water-miscible machining coolant (synthetic or semi-synthetic) mixed per the coolant supplier’s recommendations. The best choice depends on your material mix (carbon steel vs stainless vs aluminum), corrosion protection expectations, and any downstream cleaning requirements before tensile testing.
Filtration is typically kept simple and focused on keeping chips and fines out of the pump and nozzle path. Common approaches include:
- A chip screen or basket at the tank return
- Magnetic collection for ferrous swarf
- An optional external bag or cartridge filter if you generate a lot of fine material
