CEN/TC 190/WG 4 - Production equipment, tools, foundry auxiliaries (e.g. patterns permanent moulds, moulding materials)

This standard specifies the requirements for tooling for the production of lost patterns for the lost wax process including soluble wax cores, and the production of ceramic cores. This standard does not specify equipment used to produce castings by the Shaw process. This standard does not specify the processes which directly generate the lost pattern(s) by means of numerical data such as stereolithography or sintered wax process or laminated object manufacturing (LOM).

This Standard specifies the requirements for tooling for the production of lost patterns by the lost foam process.

This Standard specifies the requirements for patterns, pattern equipment and coreboxes for the production of sand moulds and/or sand cores. This Standard does not specify equipment for the production of lost patterns, permanent moulds and die casting dies. This Standard does not specify the requirements for ancillary items used in the manufacture of pattern equipment (such as screws, dowels, etc.).
